The Governing Body

Governors are a group of elected and co-opted volunteers who help the school provide the best possible education for pupils. The governing body acts collectively and governors provide support and strategic challenge to the school; they help to set the school's vision and ensure accountability. At Greenleas our governors play an important part in the school community. The Chair or Clerk of the Governing Body may be contacted via the school office.

Greenleas is a community school and has 12 governors and one associate member.
