Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings
The full governing body meets once or twice a term. At these meetings, the governing body carries out its three core functions, as identified by the Department for Education in the Governors' Handbook:
- ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
- overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure money is well spent
The current chair of Governors is Hesione Quinn supported by Vice-Chair; Tony Fallowfield. Minutes are published here, once they have been agreed by the governing body at the following meeting.
