Governance

Our Local Governing Body is composed of Parent Governors (parents of students within the school) and Co-opted Governors (members of the local community or people with skills and experience in particular areas). Over an academic year, our Local Governing Body meets half-termly to oversee, scrutinise and challenge on all aspects relating to the function of our school.

Our Chair of Governors is Katy Davison (email enquiries@ecclesfield-mlt.co.uk)

Our schools also have Lead Governors responsible for overseeing specific areas of the school. Our Lead Governors are:

Vikki Carolan – Safeguarding

Katy Davison – Vulnerable Groups (including Pupil Premium)
