With the consent of the Local Authority, and within the constraints of the “constitution of governing bodies by category of governor” defined by the Department for Education we have reconstituted our GB.

Our Instrument of Government states that the Governing Body of the Federation will consist of:

2    Parent Governors:  parents/carers of children attending the schools nominated and elected          by other parents/carers.

1    Local Authority (LA) Governor: appointed by the Local Authority

1    Staff Governor: teaching or non-teaching staff elected by their fellow staff members

1    The Headteacher: a Governor due to her position

9    Co-opted Governors: appointed and approved by the GB, having the skills, commitment              and capacity to contribute effectively to the work of the GB.
