There are two Governor Meetings every term and sub-groups meet when it is necessary

The governors take a keen interest in the work of the school and visit on a regular basis. They usually meet twice a term to discuss the running of the school and receive a termly report from the Head. Groups of governors meet more often to discuss particular issues relating to the curriculum, finance or the interests of the pupils and the community. Each governor is attached to a subject area and follows progress through the school.

Governors serve for four years and have legal duties, powers and responsibilities. They can only act together as a body, they cannot act individually. The large majority of worries that a parent may have can usually be sorted out in an informal discussion with the class teacher or the Head Teacher. If a parent feels that the problem is not resolved they should talk with the Chair of Governors.

Governors play a strong role in the school development. They link well with each of the subject areas and monitor the work of the school effectively through the ‘governor of the month’ programme.
