TREFONEN SCHOOL GOVERNORS
The Trefonen School Governing Body is currently ten governors, made up of members of the community, local authority representatives, parents, staff and representatives of the Church of England (Foundation Governors).
Governors serve for four years upon their election to the governing board. Incumbent members of the governing Board include the Head teacher and Vicar, who serve until the end of their post.
All of Trefonen Governors serve as members of our school’s two core committees:
- Standards and Curriculum Committee (SCC – This includes Curriculum, Special Educational Needs and Safeguarding)
- Strategy Planning and Resources Committee (SPR – this includes: Finance, Human Resources, Premises, Health & Safety).
- Governors representing the school’s Church of England foundation also serve on the Foundation Governors’ Group (FGG)
