Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
Information and details about our school governors can be found below.
Governors can be contacted via the school office.
Governors are volunteers who work in partnership with the Head teacher and staff. They are involved in setting school policy and make regular visits to observe the activities of the school. They are appointed for a period of up to 4 years, although they can be re-appointed if they are interested in continuing. They meet, as a Governing Body, twice a term, and also take part in committees which meet at least once a term. Some Governors are parents. Elections are held whenever there is a vacancy and all parents are entitled to vote. The LA appoints a Governor, one is appointed by the staff and the Head teacher is automatically a Governor. The remaining places are given to people appointed by the Governing Body.
