Governing Body

At Prior Heath Infant School we have a Governing Body which is made up of Local Authority, Co-opted, Parent and Staff governors. The Full Governing Body (FGB) meet four times a year and operates a flat structure together with a Pay Committee. Each governor is allocated one or more designated roles and governors are required to attend at least one monitoring visit each year which are held every half term. The table below shows information about the Governing Body, including positions of responsibility and designated roles, committee membership (where applicable) and attendance for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years.
