Governors meet twice per term, at a minimum. The Strategic Governing Board which consists of all governors meets in the first half term and the Full Governing Board meeting takes place in the second half term.

 

We also hold Strategic Days when governors come in to school to meet with relevant staff to discuss a specific area of enquiry. E.g. In the past they have reviewed the curriculum, Special Educational Needs, monitored books in the Core Subjects and spent a day reviewing attainment and progress.

 

 The Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher meets with the Chair and Vice Chairs on a regular basis.
