Composition of the Board

As established in our Instrument of Government, we have twelve governors:

• two parents (elected by the parents)
• two staff members (one of whom is always the Headteacher, the other is elected by the staff)
• one foundation governor (appointed by the Local Authority)
• one foundation governor (who is always the officiating minister for the parish)
• six foundation governors (who are appointed by the Diocese)

As far as the foundation governors are concerned, the Local Authority and the Diocese will welcome nominations either from invididuals themselves or from the current board.  Where appointed or elected, board members participate for the term of office set out in the Instrument of Government (four years) unless otherwise indicated.

Governors' Skills

The National Governors Association offers a template for auditing the skills of the governing body.  This helps the board to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and to address them through training and recruitment of new governors and associate governors.

We updated our skills audit in December 2018 and added two new members in April 2019.  The results - presented anonymously - can be seen here.

We will update this audit on a regular basis - when governors change or when governors feel their skills have developed!
