Our Governors
The Governing Body meets at least once every term for a full meeting. There are also sub-committees which look at particular issues such as curriculum, finance, and performance management and they meet more regularly.
All governors are informed about what happens at sub committee meetings. There are several categories of governor, appointed by different groups that have an interest in the school.
These are Community governors, the Local Authority, Parents, and Staff. All governors have equal status, however they are appointed. If you are interested in becoming a Governor of the school please speak to an existing Governor or to the Headteacher.
