Below you will find information on the current governors (and former governors who held office during the past year):

• name
• who they represent or were appointed by
• term of office
• committees they serve on and any positions of responsibility they hold
• any relevant business interests
• whether they are also a governor elsewhere
• relationships (if any) with school staff
• attendance record over the past year for both governing body and committees (figures indicate meetings attended out of a possible total).
