Our School Governors

Our Governing Body includes representatives from each of the three school communities within our Federation as well as from the wider local community. Parent Governors are elected by parents and Staff Governors are elected by the staff while Co-opted Governors and Associate Members are appointed by the Governing Body. The appointment of Foundation Governors is made by the Coventry Diocese in consultation with the Parochial Church Councils of St Nicholas Church, Loxley, and the churches of St Andrew, Wilmcote and St John Baptist, Aston Cantlow. Our LA governor is appointed by Warwickshire County Council.
