The Governing Body has a duty in law to ensure that the College is efficiently managed within the delegated budget, to achieve the highest possible standards of educational achievement. Governors discharge this responsibility by monitoring College activities and providing support, where appropriate, to the Head Teacher and her Staff. All Governors are volunteers.
