Recent meetings of the full Governing Body were held on:
Meetings of the following sub-committees also took place on a regular basis: Resources and Finance, Policy and Curriculum and Staffing.
Significant action taken by the Governors during the year 2004/5 includes:
- Monitoring progress against the 2004/5 School Development Plan
- Contributing to and approving the 2005/6 School Development Plan
- Contributing to and approving staffing changes and appointments
- Monitoring the use of resources including income and expenditure against the 2004/5 School Budget
- Providing funding, with the help of the Local Education Authority, for major new building works at the school
- Setting and agreeing a school budget for 2005/6
- Setting School Targets for Key Stage 2 in English and Mathematics
- Setting Performance Objectives for the Head Teacher

Through meetings, visits to school, presentations to Governors’ meetings by teachers and Headteacher’s reports, Governors are kept informed of ways in which the curriculum is taught, how pupils learn and are assessed, extra-curricular activities that take place, community and other links, fluctuations in the number on roll and pupil exclusions.
