OUR SCHOOL GOVERNORS

Under the Education Reform Act of 1998, the Governing Body is responsible for the management of the school within the framework of Government legislation and the Local Education Authority’s policies. The governors are elected, nominated or co-opted onto the Governing Body to serve for a period of four years.

There are five meetings of the full Governing Body each year plus regular meetings of the Finance, Curriculum, Personnel and Premises sub-committees. The approved minutes of governors’ meetings are available and are displayed on the Governors’ Notice Board in the school entrance hall.
