Governors are people who wish to make a positive contribution to children's education. They are volunteers who spend up to about 4 hours each month attending meetings and working in other ways to further the College's development.

The Governing Body consists of people with a wide range of backgrounds. Every governing body has parents, school staff and representatives from the Local Authority and the community.

Together with the Principal, governors set the future direction for the College and decide how the College's budget should be spent. The Governing Body makes decisions collectively on matters such as performance targets, College policies and the College Improvement Plan. Governors monitor the impact of policies and oversee the use of the College's budget. They report to parents on the College's achievements and respond to inspection recommendations. They hear appeals from pupils and staff and consider complaints.
