Governance – School Committee

The School Committee is a representative group consisting of members of the community including staff, parents and co-opted governors who all bring specific skills that benefit the school and its students. The core function of the School Committee is to support and challenge the Headteacher and the senior leadership team: ensuring that all the young people in the school continue to have many opportunities to be the best they can be. 

The School Committee meets six times a year to review and monitor the progress of the school, and takes an interest in all matters that affect teaching, learning and the wider school environment. In the face of rapid and continuous change in the world of education, it holds the professional leadership of the school to account, whilst giving time to be supportive in many different areas of school life. Governors are also linked to senior members of the school staff and conduct regular meetings and visits to the school. The School Committee is also responsible for the regular review of a wide range of school policies and activities.
