Meet the Governors

Welcome to our Governors' Section.

Constitution of the Governing Body

There are twelve members of the governing body. These twelve consist of the following posts:

The Headteacher
One LA appointed governor (appointed by Trafford Local Education Authority)
One elected staff governor (elected by the school staff)
Two elected parent governors (elected by the parents)
Seven co-opted governors (elected by governors)

Note: Co-opted governors are governors who have been invited to join the governing body because they have a particular skill or talent which would be of use to helping the school to achieve its development plans.

The government, wishes to see a significant shift away from precise stakeholder representation (elected or appointed governors) towards a more skills-based model of governance (governors invited on because of their particular skills). One of the government's aims is to produce smaller governing bodies, which can now have as few a seven members.
