Every school has a Governing Body, which is made up of representatives of the local community who give their time and services to the school. The governors come from a wide variety of backgrounds; and do not have to have experience in education. Governors volunteer their time, and the main requirement for the role is the desire to see the school and its pupils succeed in their education and achieve their individual potential.
The Full Governing Body meets eight times a year to discuss and review any current issues at the school and to look forward to the year ahead. Dates for future meetings are:-
01.03.2023 - Resource Management Committee
08.03.2023 - Full Governing Body
17.05.2023 - Resource Management Committee
24.05.2023 - Quality & Standards Committee
07.06.2023 - Full Governing Body
Our School Governing body is made up of the Head Teacher, Staff, Parents, Local Authority and Co-opted Governors.
If you are interested in becoming a Governor of Hollyfast or wish to know more about what we do, please feel free to contact any member of the Governing Body. Contact should be made through the School office on 02476 332521.
