Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
Governor Organisation
Governors operate a 'flat style' of governance. Each governor has a clear area of responsibility to monitor and to report back on to the FGB. Half termly meetings have a focus on either Finance, Premises and Resources or Children, Learning and Community and agendas reflect these aspects of school provision and work.
There are panels to manage Headteacher Performance Management, School Admissions and Teachers’ Pay Review. Ad Hoc panels or working parties will be convened as required, e.g. Complaints, pupil /parent surveys etc.
