About The Governors

The Governors

The Instrument and the Governors’ own Standing Orders define the constitution as being comprised of the following 20 stakeholders:

• 13 appointed External Governors (four year term of office)
• 2 elected Staff Governors (four year term of office)
• 2 elected Parent Governors (three year term of office)
• The Principal (for duration of his/her employment)
• 2 elected Student Governors (one year term of office)

External Governors are recruited to provide a range of key skills and links to key stakeholders across Kirklees and the surrounding area. The Governing Body (not the College) employs an independent part-time Clerk, who facilitates all aspects of its work.

The Search and Governance Committee advise the Corporation on appointments and reappointments.
