The Governing Body has a responsibility to support and monitor the work of the school and its leadership team. The body is made up of Governors representing staff, parents, the community and the local authority. Our governors meet regularly to discuss all aspects of school leadership and management. The Chair of Governors can be contacted through the school office on 01254 261609 or by emailing office@cedars.blackburn.sch.uk.
