We meet at the school 9 times a year (September – July) on a Thursday between 6pm – 8pm for full board meetings.  Each governor sits on a monitoring team to suit skills and experience, which meet termly to discuss the monitoring plan and Governors do make monitoring visits to the school during school hours.
