Committee Terms of Reference _ Each of our committees have clear terms of reference that guide their work in school. These are reviewed annually and are then used to plan for governor strategic direction and agenda setting throughout the year.
Governors have an action plan that links to their committees which determines areas of strategic focus within each year. This is our Governor Action Plan overview for this year.
