“The governing body is forward-thinking in its approach to governance.” Ofsted March 2017
The Governing Body works closely with the Headteacher in the management and leadership of the school to ensure that the school continues to maintain its high standards as well as improve and develop further. The full Governing Body meets twice each term, with additional meetings for committees.
There are three committees within the Governing Body: Personnel; Pupil Wellbeing and Learning; Resources. Details of the members and Chair of each are included in the table of governors below. Here are our Committee Terms of Reference: Committee Terms of Reference 2024
Minutes of previous meetings are available to download below or hardcopies can be requested from the office.
Our report to parents from the Resources Committee is available here: Resources Committee Report to Parents November 2020
