Meet the Governors
Our Governing Board
Governors work closely with headteachers, school staff and representatives from the local authority (LA).
The Governing Board is made up of :-
- 3 Parent Governors - elected by parental ballot
- 4 Co-opted Governors - appointed by the Governing Board
- 1 Staff Governors
- 1 Local Authority Governor
- 1 Headteacher

Due to our relatively small Governing Board we do not publish this diversity data online as individual Governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
