The role of the Governing Body: Leadership and Management

All governors work tirelessly for the school to ensure that all pupils are given an excellent education and are equipped with the skills to flourish & succeed in an increasingly complex world. Governors work in close partnership with parents, our Trust and other Rise schools as well as Mr Bardsley and Mr Skye, who are responsible for the operational management of the school on a daily basis.
