WELCOME TO THE GOVERNORS' PAGE

The Governing Body consists of:

4 Parent Governors (Debi Preece, Helen Kidd, Katrina Malcolm & Helen Usher);
3 Community Governors (Bob Spokes, Mike Williams, Keith Wright);
3 LEA Governors (Helen Hathaway, Peter West and a vacancy);
2 Teacher Governors (Val Mellors, Kate Dethridge);
1 Staff Governor (Carolyn Baines).
Jenny Hill as the Deputy Head and Gillian Harriss as Business Manager attend as Observers.

Each governor serves a term of 4 years. Parents elect the Parent Governors, LEA Governors are nominated by the LEA, the Governing Body selects its Community Governors, teachers vote for their governor, the Headteacher can choose whether or not to become a governor, and the remaining staff select their representative.

The Governing Body generally meets five times a year, and governors split into smaller committees in order to discuss Curriculum and Finance matters, which meet before separately in order to report back at the main meeting.

The minutes of the meetings are taken by the Clerk to the Governors, Alice Elliott, who also helps organise governors’ meetings and other information. Minutes of Governors’ meetings are available for public viewing from the School Office.
