The Role of the Governors

The Governors are not involved in the day to day running of the College, but are concerned with the major decisions regarding the direction the College is going in. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that our students are safe, getting the best education we can provide, and are progressing.  The Governors meet regularly to review and discuss the management of the College.
