Our Governors
At Pendle Community High School and College we are very lucky to have a strong and active governing body. Our Governors act as our critical friends supporting the work of the school whilst questioning impact of our actions. Our Governors regularly meet with key teaching members of staff to discuss policy and the progress the pupils are making and take regular opportunities to visit school.
COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Governors meet once a term as a whole Governing body and once a term in the sub-committees:
- Finance & Resources (F&R)
- Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CT&L)
- Health & Safety (H&S)
Governors support the school in appointing new staff and attending school events and celebrations. Governors come from all walks of life and represent our diverse population and community. If you would like to find out more about being a Parent Governor please contact the school.
