Business and Pecuniary Interests

Governors are required to declare any business or pecuniary interests that they have. These could include governance roles in other educational institutions; material interests arising from relationships between governors; or relationships with school staff, e.g. spouses, partners or close relatives.  Our register of interests can be found below.

Committees and Terms of Reference

Granby's governing body has three committees, which each meet once a term. These are: the Executive Committee [Exec]; the Finance, Premises, Health and Safety Committee [F&P]; and the Pay and Personnel Committee [P&P].  Governors also meet termly with different curriculum co-ordinators in Curriculum Forums. The terms of reference for the different committees can be found below.

Scheme of Delegation

The Full Governing Body [FGB] delegates its powers to other committees, groups and individuals. These report back to the FGB on how they have discharged those duties. Our scheme of delegation can be found below.
