Governors
A warm welcome from the Hove Learning Federation Governing Body.
We are a group of people drawn from the school community, who assist the senior staff in the general running of both West Hove Infants and Hove Junior school. The Governors have organised the following committees to deal with the range of issues for which we are responsible:
- Chairs of Committees - meets 3 times per annum.
- Finance & Leadership Committee - meets 3 times per annum.
- Curriculum & Inclusion Committee - meets 3 times per annum.
- Safeguarding Committee - meets 3 times per annum.
- Pay Committee - meets 2-3 times per annum.
The Full Governing Body meets 6 times each year.
The Board Organisation Chart and Terms of Reference has been attached below.
An organisation chart has been attached below, which details how the Board and Committees are structured.
