We are delighted to have a strong team of governors that have a wide range of skills and experience between them. Each governor has been assigned an individual role with key responsibilities based on their personal expertise and governor training. This ensures that all aspects of each school are scrutinised effectively in accordance with the Equals Trust guidelines Equals Trust – Our Local Governing Bodies.
