The Full Governing Body meets every term, and works closely with teaching staff to ensure effective governance.
At the first meeting of each academic year, the Governing Body elects a Chair and Vice Chair and allocates the governing body members to various roles according to experience, training and personal interest in the matters arising within each group.
Responsibilities of the Governing Body include the monitoring and review of financial management, property, HR issues, the review of academic progress and the School Improvement Plan and curriculum issues.
The local governing bodies of Hemington Primary School and Leigh on Mendip Primary School have committed to working together to strengthen the support and challenge for both schools.
