Local Governing Body

School governors are responsible for making decisions about how the school is run. They meet at least once a term at school. They have legal duties, powers and responsibilities. The Chair of Governors can be contacted via Diane Sanderson in the school office.

 

All Governors sit on all committees, therefore the chair of Governors is chair of all. 

Parent Governors bring the views of parents to the governing body, but they speak as individuals. They have equal status in the work of the governing body with voting rights.

Alison Hutchinson

Parent Governor

I have worked for HSBC for 23 years mainly in management roles, displaying strong interpersonal skills to get the best out of my people and to achieve the best outcomes for them also. I was nominated for a Spotlight award for Strong Leadership in times of exceptional change in 2019 and in 2020 myself and my team won the award. I then secured a role as a school business manager due to the skills and experience I displayed. In the end I didn’t go ahead with that due to the hours and took a role working with vulnerable young people to help them achieve their goals instead. I find this very rewarding and I believe my experience and skills work very well in the school governor role and would welcome the opportunity to further contribute to the school in this way. I am committed to any time required to do this role. I have 2 children in school so have a good cross section of experience of different year groups. I will contribute by providing balanced, well evidenced and well thought out contributions to any meetings in order to deliver the best outcomes for the pupils and the school.
