Home > About us  > Governance > Governing Body

The governing body sets up a strategic framework for the school. It sets aims and objectives, targets for achieving those objectives, and engages in policy formation, adoption and review. Governors are not involved in the day-to-day running of the school, which is the responsibility of the headteacher and the senior leadership team, but at CtS governors are very much an integral part of our school community and they are frequent visitors to the school.

The Chair of the Governing Body is Mark Hedges. He can be contacted on: hedges@cts-school.org or via the school office.
