Governors usually serve a four year term on the governing body. Our governors are organised into 2 sub committees:

  • Resources
  • Teaching, Learning and Inclusion

Our school is committed to having an active board that is diverse, inclusive and reflective of the community we serve. More information is available upon request from the school office.
