Local Governance Committee
What is the role of the Local Governing Committee?
The Local Governance Committee is convened to ensure that everything is in place for the School to provide the best education possible for its pupils. We support, challenge and have a strategic view of the school along with the Head Teacher and Teaching Staff.
Interested in supporting our school? If so, why not become a school governor and make a difference to young people in your community? Find our more.
We are formed of people appointed from the Community, Parents and Staff who all can be contacted through the school.
