Breaking the Mould.

The School Governors

We have an active and committed Governing Board focussed on defining the strategic vision and ethos for the school and supporting and challenging David and the Leadership Team to deliver the vision and goals. We are passionate about ensuring that the School offers the best possible education for every student in our care and we are incredibly proud to be associated with the Sherwood Foundation School.

The Board has a minimum of four full Board meetings a year, one in September and one towards the end of each term. We have 3 main committees, Finance meets once every half term and Premises and Health & Safety and Curriculum and Staffing each meet once per term. In addition Governors visit the school on a regular basis.

Further details of the structure of the Governing Body and its Committees, including signed minutes of our meetings, can be found in the downloadable documents below.
