Information About the Governing Body

The full governing body meets once each half term and all governors attend. There are also two sub-committees, plus an additional committee, which reviews the Headteacher’s performance. Working groups are set up from time to time to review specific areas, as and when required. The Chair of Governors and Headteacher are members of all committees by virtue of their position.

Governor Newsletters are issued termly to keep parents informed of the school’s achievements, the work of the governing body and any other relevant issues. Copies can be found on this website by clicking here.
