Who are the Governors of
At
All our governors are from the local area and have strong connections to the school.
The main governing body meets twice a term and each member of the committee also sits on two sub-committees that meet termly to discuss their specific areas of interest. These sub-committees are:
Buildings & Premises
Finance
Curriculum
SEN
Personnel
The sub-committees then report to the main governing body about what actions they feel should be taken.
All our governors visit the school regularly on an informal basis supporting us in our many activities. The governors also formally visit the school individually once a year.
