Structure of the Governing Body

The Governing Body at our school is made up of members of the wider community. We have representation from the Church and the Local Education Authority. We also have Staff and Parent Governors. The Executive Headteacher is also a member of the Governing Body.

We meet as a full Governing Body each term with committee meetings also held every term. The Chair of Governors also meets regularly with the Head teacher and the Chairs of each committee.

Our Governing Body has two committees with responsibilities in different areas.
