About the Governors

The Governing Body consists of fifteen members appointed or elected by various bodies and groups. The Governing Body is made up of four partnership governors, six parent governors, one teacher governor, one non teacher governor, two LEA governors and the Headteacher.

The full Governing Body meets at least once per term and in addition there are sub-committees to deal with finance, staffing and curriculum and general purposes (buildings). There is also an admissions and appeals committee.

The Governors work with the Headteacher, staff and parents to ensure that the children receive the best education possible within a happy and secure environment.

Once a year there is an Annual General Meeting to which all parents are invited. Governors report on what has happened during the year and discuss any other matters concerning the school.

Governors are responsible for:-

• The general conduct of the school.
• Discipline in consultation with the Headteacher.
• Overseeing the way the National Curriculum is taught in school.
• Making decisions about other aspects of the curriculum such as Sex Education.
• Deciding how the money allocated to run the school is spent.
• Interviewing and appointing members of the teaching staff.
• Making information available to parents.
