The Governing Body was constituted on 9th December 2015

  • 10 x Co-opted Governors who are appointed by the Governing Body
  • Associate members are not Governors, but may sit on the committees of the Governing Body and/or Full Governing Body, usually because they have specific knowledge and experience. There is no requirement to have Associate Members neither is there any limit to the number of Associate Governors that may sit on the Governing Body.

Pecuniary or Business Interests

  • All Governors and Associate Members are required to declare any pecuniary or business interests on their appointment, and also are reminded to update this information at every meeting of the Full Governing Body and its Committees.
