The Boards of Governors meet four times a year.
There are also committees covering the following areas:
As part of our responsibility for ensuring that Meadow Green is a safe, secure environment for its staff and pupils, the governors take an active interest in each area of school life. By working closely with the Headteacher, the senior leadership team and listening to Staff Views and Student Voice we strive to make the right decisions when addressing the developments and challenges facing teachers and students. It is also important for us to know how parents feel about the school and we seek out parental views at every opportunity including our Parent’s Forum.
Governors are always keen to seek the views of all members of our school community.
The governors can be contacted at governors@meadowgreen.worcs.sch.uk
Copies of minutes from each of the Governing Body Committees are held in the school office.
