School Governors
Parent governors are elected by the parents of the School and are able to hold office for up to four years. If parent governors elections are to be held, all parents will be informed, invited to stand for election and able to vote. The minutes of all the governing body meetings are available in the School office.
Governors can use these links to access related websites provided by the government, local authorites and other organizations that provide guidance and information that they may find useful in fulfilling their roles.
