Our governing body is made up of 12 people with a good variety of knowledge and experience to be a questioning and supporting friend. The following committees handle the majority of our work; the Full Governing Body meets at least once per term. Governors who have specific duties submit their reports to the relevant committee. The committees in turn report to the complete governing board, which is in charge of overseeing the administration of both institutions. Most school events are attended by governors, who are always glad to speak with parents. You can also get in touch with the chair of the governors through the front office of each school if you have any queries or comments. Please keep in mind, however, that you should first speak with the executive headteacher if you have any specific concerns about certain students or employees.
