Early Years

All members of the Board share the responsibility for "Pupil Voice" ... listening to the views of the school's pupils.  For issues relating to Pupil Discipline, Staff Dismissal Appeal, Staff Grievance, Complaints, Appeals etc the Chair will draw members as required and as appropriate from the pool of governors. 

Governing Board Diversity Data

The governors believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.

The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender, and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.

Due to our relatively small governing board, we will not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data
