Governors
Governing Body
The Governing Body meets at least once every term and Governors have responsibility for the running of the school, in consultation with the headteacher.
There are normally 4 types of Governors, Parent, Staff, Community and Local Authority.
The Headteacher is responsible to the Governors for the organisation, management and discipline of the school. Governors are elected to serve for a period of four years and the election process is managed in accordance with agreed LEA procedures.
At each termly meeting the Headteacher presents a detailed report to governors. Attendance at these meetings is recorded and shown below. Committee meetings also take place termly for Resources and Standards and Effectiveness.
