Governors

When do we meet?

The full Governing Body meets six times each school year to approve policies, receive reports from each Committee, review the progress of the school and, when required, make decisions on its future direction.

In addition Governors attend one of the specialist committees where the groundwork, research and discussion on key issues occurs.

The Governing Body has registered its interests, which includes relevant business interests and relationships between Governors and members of school staff.
