Governors
There are 20 governors in total with a wide variety of experience. Governors work closely together with the Executive Headteacher and school leaders. We formulate the aims and policies of the school.
No individual governor has any over-arching authority; sub-committees have delegated powers awarded by the governing body as a whole. The chairman, however, has the authority to answer letters, deal with emergencies and liaise with the Executive Headteacher without constant recourse to the full governing body.
Our school is a Voluntary Aided School. This means religious education and worship is led through the Christian faith and that we are able to apply specific requirements for student entry and staff appointments. The governing body is responsible for the costs of external building repairs.
The Church-in-Wales is our founding body and appoints the majority of governors, known as Foundation Governors. The governing body is a vital part of the leadership of the school and our role in developing the work of the school as a church school is independently inspected. The Executive Headteacher, Head of School, staff and governors work as a united team dedicated to realising a shared Christian vision for the school.
The full governing body meets four times per year.
