Governors
Welcome to our Governors page which we hope will give you an insight into the work of the Governing Body and how we govern our school. In line with the Department of Education (DfE) guidance, we have reconstituted the Governing Body. This means priority is given to skills and experience governors bring to enhance and add value to the school. We believe this contribution makes our governors cohesive and effective in undertaking their duties.
As a Maintained School all governors are appointed by the Local Authority, Suffolk County Council serving a term of office of 4 years. We have agreed to have 10 members on our Governing Body.
The Governors Code of Conduct, membership details and register of interest are published on this website for your information.
If you have any other queries regarding school governance, please contact governors through the School Office.
