The governors at St Michael’s are representative of our school community. They are made up of staff, parents, church members and members of the local community who are committed to ensuring that our school vision and values are part of the strategic decisions made in school.
The full governing body meets every half term. The first half term’s meeting is largely focused on finance whilst the second meeting focuses on school improvement priorities. Download Governors code of Conduct (pdf)
