Governors' Management System
The Full Governing Body meets four times a year. The majority of the Governors' work is done through committees as shown below, which meet either three or four times each year. Disciplinary panels are convened as necessary.
The Coordinating Committee comprises the Chair of Governors, chairs of each of the Governors’ committees (including the independent Foundation committee), the Headteacher and Deputy Heads together with other School Leadership Team (SLT) members whose presence may be required. This Committee coordinates the work of the other committees and the Full Governing Body.
