Any parent with a child in the school is eligible to stand for election as a parent governor and parents will be notified when an election is due to take place. Governors are invited to attend courses run by the Local Education Authority, which aim to help them fulfil their responsibility.

The Governing body meets each term. Governors also serve on various sub-committees set up to assist the running of the school. Once a year all parents are invited to a general meeting at which the Governors present their Annual Report.
