• Resources Committee:  Responsible for overseeing financial performance.

• The Headteacher and Senior Staff Performance Management and Pay Review committee. This Committee reviews the performance of the Headteacher annually and determines the pay of the headteacher and members of the senior leadership team.
• Other Committees are formed as required for considering staffing issues and pupil exclusions.
• The Governing Body has the power to appoint Associate Members to Committees but does not currently do so.
