Governing Body

Chair of Governors - Mrs J. Mellor - chair@cardinalgriffin.staffs.sch.uk

Clerk to the Governors - Mr M Armstrong - clerk@cardinalgriffin.staffs.sch.uk

The Governing Body is comprised of 16 Governors, made up of 9 Foundation, 2 Parent, 1 Local Authority, 1 Staff, 1 Headteacher and 2 Co-opted Governors. The Governing Body has chosen to organise itself so that it holds two Governor meetings per term of the full Governing Body.

These meetings have standing agenda items which focus on different aspects of the College’s work. A Headteacher’s report is received by the Governors at each of these meetings, with information about how each area is progressing. In addition to the main meetings, the Governing Body also has a Resources, Staffing and Estates Committee which meets twice per term. This committee considers matters relating to Finance, Curriculum, Health and Safety, Human Resources, Facilities Management and the College Estate. The Resources, Staffing and Estates Committee is Chaired by the Vice Chair of Governors. 

The Governing Body also has a Pay Committee Chaired by Mrs Mellor, which covers matters relating to Pay and Terms and conditions; an Admissions Committee Chaired by Mrs Mellor which covers matters relating to Year 7, Year 12 and in Year admissions; an Appeals Committee which considers any appeals against decisions of the Governing Body, which elects a Chair when convened for each separate appeal; and a Staff Structure Committee which is convened periodically to consider any significant changes to the staffing structure and which elects a Chair each time it convenes. 

The documents below give further details about the membership of the committees both historically and at the present time.
