The Governors play a full and vital part in the life of the College. They comprise parents, representatives of the charitable foundation that supports the College, staff and representatives of the LEA and Local Business Community.
Governors work in close co-operation with the Headteacher and the Local Education Authority in directing the development of the College and ensuring that the standards are the highest possible. Their task is to ensure that the College remains true to its original concept and that the views of our local community and parents are reflected in its management. They do much to harness local energy and resources to further its development. Representatives of the Student Council also attend Governors meetings.
The Governing Body is divided into small task groups with specific briefs such as Pastoral Care and Discipline, Finance (the College manages its own budget), Premises, Personnel, Curriculum and Sport and Community. There is also a joint Governors Committee with Governors at Helenswood School to run the two schools' joint or “federal” sixth form.
