    Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

    The governing body consists of people who are members of staff, parents, representatives of the local authority and the community and who have a wide range of backgrounds, skills and experiences. The governing body works as a team and accept collective responsibility for decisions made at meetings.
