The Governing Body meets once a term. Its members are volunteers who play an important part in working with all members of our school community. They oversee the work of the school and working with the Head Teacher, ensure it provides an excellent education for all our pupils. It has 12 members.
There are no pecuniary or material interests. This is minuted at FGB and Sub committee meetings
Diversity Statement
As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We collect diversity information from our governors and depending on current data, can use this to:
* target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
* develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
* prioritise training and awareness raising in identified areas
* address potential 'blind spots' through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks.
Our Governing body is made up of various faiths, ethnicities, ages and genders. However, we are unable to publish specific information as it would mean that individual members of the governing body are identifiable.
