The Governing Body

The Governing Body is composed of unpaid volunteers who have agreed to support and challenge the work of the school under the head teacher's leadership. Governors represent various interested groups as defined by law. The Governing Body adopted The Circle Model as a whole Governing Body Approach in September 2022 which means no decisions are delegated to committees, so all the relevant decisions are made within full board meetings. The work of the committees is incorporated into an increased number of full board meetings, therefore there are 9 Governing Body Meetings each academic year. Each full board meeting will often have one main focus, such as the budget or educational standards, but will also review policies, discuss Health and Safety and Safeguarding updates at every meeting. From time to time working parties are convened to undertake a particular task, such as self-evaluation. Governors also monitor the work of the school through visiting classes and attending school events.

The Annual Governance Statement below outlines some of the key information about our Governing Body and the work carried out by the different groups.
