The Governing Body meets at least once a term to plan the strategic leadership of the school. They provide support and challenge to the Head teacher and other school leaders. Governing body meetings all have an agenda and minutes are taken by the Clerk. Minutes from meetings are available by request from the school office. Being a governor is a challenging but immensely rewarding voluntary role.
