Governors

Governing Body Chair: Ian Scott                   Vice Chair: Peter Hilton

The Governing Body takes a strategic role, acts as a critical friend to the school and is accountable for its decisions. It sets aims and objectives, reviews, agrees and monitors policies, targets and priorities and is accountable for the efficient and effective use of its funding. The Full Governing Body meets at least three times a year. There are a number of Working Parties which meet regularly and to which the Governing Body can delegate certain responsibilities. The Governing Body can and does establish ad-hoc working parties as the need arises made up of suitably experienced governors, in order to deliver against deadlines with which it is faced.

The Working Party structure is as follows:

It makes appropriate recommendations to the Finance Working Party in relation to staffing.
