To ensure good governance across the school, meeting all legal and educational standards.

Meetings:
The full Governing Body meets at least once every term. In addition, there are three sub committees, again which usually meet each term.
The delegation of some of the work of the Governing Body is delegated to sub committees. This has increased the time available to discuss important issues at the main meetings, whilst specialist issues can be discussed at greater length by smaller groups. Each committee reports fully to the full Governing Body through its agenda / minutes.
