School Governors
Welcome to our Governor Page.
The structure of our governing body is 12 Governors in total: 1 Headteacher, 1 other staff governor, 2 parent governors, 1 local authority governor and 7 co-opted governors. We also have associate governors who support a particular committee but do not need to attend full governing body meetings.
If you are interested in becoming a school governor please contact the Co-chairs of Governors, Helen Moreton and Phil Bowman, or the Headteacher, Fiona Hughes. There are currently two vacancies for co-opted governors.
We can appoint extra associate governors to assist in a particular area where appropriate. Alternatively we can bear you in mind if/when a vacancy arises.
