The School Governors are seen as the key force between the community, the school and the Local Authority. Their role is vital to the development of Meadow Park.
The School Governors are made up of a range of Local Authority members and officers who meet regularly to guide the work of the school and make decisions. They are responsible for the finance and resources of the school and for appointing staff.
The School Governors were reconstituted in September 2018. Members and responsibilities of Governors are as follows:
