The Structure of the Governing Body 2019-2020

Following on from a successful year as a Flat Governing Body structure, the governing body have elected to continue the next academic year also as a Flat Structure.  Moving forward there will now be 10 Full Governing Board meetings a year.

Due to COVID-19 social distancing measures and school closures, the FGB held on 26th March was completed in a Virtual Meeting Room and only focussed on statutory Finance and Policy agenda items.  The FGB on 11th June was completed in a Virtual Meeting Room and focussed on the phased re-opening on Nursery, Yr R and Yr 6 whilst still supporting Keyworker and Vulnerable children in school.  It is anticipated that our final meeting of the year will also be a Virtual Meeting to enable us to carry on observing social distancing measures set out by the Government at this time.
