Parent Governors are elected by the parents and are their representatives on the Governing Body.  Governors are required to attend full governing body meetings once a term and in addition each governor is expected to be on at least one committee: these are Curriculum, Personnel, Pay and Finance and Premises.  The minutes of the full governing body meetings are available from the school on request.

Governors visit the school regularly to help, meet with staff, parents and children and monitor all aspects of school life. 

Dates of Governor meetings and non-confidential minutes are available upon request.
