Our Governors
We are blessed to have committed Governors, all of whom work extremely hard to be a critical friend to the school. The job of governance is an essential ingredient to the running of a successful school. Governors are given excellent support from Julie Cranden who is our clerk to the governors.
There are three committees that operate at St Egwin’s:
Full Governing Body – these are attended by all governors and focus on core business of governance including committee feedback, approval of budget, School Development Plan overview and policy approval.
Resources Committee – This focuses on key areas such as health and safety, finance, budget and compliance.
Curriculum Committee – This focuses on the curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment as key priorities.
