Some of the business of the Governing Body is shared between Committees.

Some of these are 'statutory' committees, which by law all governing bodies must have. Others are set up at the discretion of the Governing Body, to address ongoing business or to deal with particular initiatives or projects.

The statutory committees are: Pupil Discipline, Pay Review, Appeals, Complaints, Performance Management.

At Grangetown we have established the following three non-statutory committees to deal with ongoing business:

1. School Improvement Committee (Curriculum, Teaching & Learning, Pupil Performance).
2. Resources Committee (budget, staffing, premises & site).
3. Pupil Progress, Monitoring & Challenge Group (Data, Pupil Performance, Raising Standards, School Improvement Plan).

During Autumn 2011 we will be reviewing our Committee structure, as well as the membership of committees. In particular, we will look at whether we make the following change:
Do we change the name of the School Improvement Committee to the Teaching, Learning & Curriculum Committee? Decision: Yes, Governors agreed this change on 5 October.
