The Governing Body meets at least three times annually, once each term. In addition to these full Governing Body meetings our committees also meet at least once a term. These committees discuss items in depth and make recommendations to the Full Governing Body. 

The Governing Body occasionally more frequently if there is urgent business that needs attention.

The work is divided between two main committees:- 

1. Teaching & Learning Committee which oversees the curriculum, safeguarding and SEND.
2. Resources Committee has responsibility for the school’s finances, setting the school budget and reviewing the school’s financial performance. The committee also monitors staff performance management, responsibility for pay and other HR matters, Health & Safety and premises.

The agendas and minutes of all Governing Body meetings are available to read in school.
