Governing Board meetings 2026-27

Our governing body operates on a cyclical model, with a scheduled programme of meetings and monitoring activities throughout the academic year. This approach allows governors to systematically review key areas of the school’s work, ensuring robust oversight, support, and challenge for school leaders, and helping to achieve the best possible outcomes for all pupils. A Pay Committee will also meet annually, plus there may be requirements throughout the year for governors to support ad hoc committees, as detailed in the Governing Board’s Terms of Reference.

Full Governing Body meetings are scheduled for the following dates during this school year :

15th September 2026
