All Governors are appointed by the LGB with the exception of parent Governors who are elected by the parent body and the Headteacher and Vicar who are ex officio. Minutes are available on request. All Governors monitor throughout the year and evaluate the school's theologically rooted vision in action when in school, through observations or work, teaching and learning, environment and through discussions with staff and pupils
