Meet the Governors
The governors are responsible for ensuring the quality of the education provision and monitor and challenge the progress of the school in meeting its priorities. The Governors consist of three committees, the full governing body, Resources committee (budget, building etc) and Standards committee (teaching and learning etc), each meeting takes place on a cycle throughout the year and sub-groups are expected to report back to full governing body on what they have discussed during their meetings.
If you need to contact the Governors for any reason, please email clerktogovernors@todhigh.co.uk.
