Our Governing Board takes its role of providing confident and strong strategic leadership which leads to robust accountability, oversight and assurance for educational and financial performance seriously.
The Governing Board has three core functions:
Our governing board meets as a full body every half term. Our Resources committee meets every half term, and our Curriculum and Standards committee meets every full term.
