    Our governing body meets four times a year as a full local governing body that feed into the board of Trustees for the academy trust. We have a pay committee that also feeds into the academy trust's pay committee. Individual governors attend monitoring visits each term to support and challenge the senior leadership team's SEF judgements, SDP progress and for individual aspects of the school. Our trust governors are appointed by the trustees, staff governors are appointed by the school staff and parent governors are appointed by the parent body.

    Copies of governing body minutes are available free of charge.
