The full Governing Body meets once per term and each governor is a member of at least one of the four main committees: –

  • Standards and Effectiveness
  • Resources and Governance
  • SHE- Safety, Health and Environment Committee

These committees meet between once and twice per term, dependent upon the business to be discussed or resolved. Attendance for Governing Meetings can be viewed in the attachments below.

Other committees or sub-committees are formed to deal with specific issues that arise from time to time, for example the appointment of new staff.

A structure of the various different committees and also the nominated governor roles are available to view here.
