Our current governing body, their roles, and responsibilities
Our governing body is made up of both elected and appointed members. Parent governors are elected by a ballot of parents and carers at the school, whilst staff governors are elected by a ballot of school staff. Co-opted governors are appointed by a vote of the governing body on the basis of the skills they can bring. As a maintained school, we also have an LA representative governor who is nominated by the local authority, but appointed by the governing body.
We sometimes also vote to appoint associate members. They are not governors, but are invited to sit on one of the committees of the governing body because they have specific skills. They cannot vote at governing body meetings but, at our school, associate members are given voting rights in the committees of which they are a member.
The remit of each of our committees is laid out on our Governing Body page.
