The Structure of the Governing Body

The South Ascot Village School Governing Body operates a 'circle' model of governance, where the majority of decisions are made at Full Governing Body meetings.  Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings are held at regular intervals during term time.  There is a Finance Committee which reports to the Full Governing Body.

The governors take on designated roles (eg Safeguarding governor) and have link areas of focus for their governor visits to school.

For more information on the governors and their link areas and roles, please see the table below.
