Local Governance Committee
What is the role of the Local Governing Committee?
We are formed of people appointed from the Community, Parents and Staff who all can be contacted through the School. The Local Governance Committee is convened to ensure that everything is in place for the School to provide the best education possible for its pupils. We support, challenge and have a strategic view of the school along with the Head Teacher and Teaching Staff.

| Louise Cottingham, Chair (Co-opted) | Nick Garley (Headteacher) |

Virginie Chapman, Vice Chair (Elected Parent) |
Holly Limbert (Parent Governor) |
| Jacqueline Crowley (Staff Governor) | John Hall (Co-opted Governor) |
