The Governing Body has a very important role to play in the life of the College. Governors have to work in close partnership with the Head of Further Education and staff to ensure the effectiveness of the College. Being a Governor requires commitment and energy: attending meetings, being involved in college activities, working as a team and accepting a fair share of responsibility. A good team combines purpose, clarity on roles, respect for others, democratic working practices and good leadership and communication. At present, none of our Governors are Governors at any other school or college. To do this effectively and efficiently the Governing Body has set up a number of Special Interest groups with specifically defined responsibilities.
