Introduction

In order to ensure that Governors are made aware of school events well in advance, we will be regularly updating this page. All Governors are very welcome to come along to our events and activities.

It’s important that Governors build up a feel for how the school operates, by visiting to see the school in action and by meeting staff, pupils and parents, and by sometimes being part of special events. As a Governor, you are a valued member of our school community – you will always receive a warm welcome.

For more information about what's going on at Grangetown, see our Weekly Update, monthly Newsletter, our online Calendar and our Termly Overview.
 
Types of Event

This page is divided into four sections. Firstly, there are events that happen weekly Secondly there are 'special events' which are for example seasonal or set up to support a charity etc. If you want to attend any of these 'weekly' or 'special' events please ring the school in advance to discuss the event and to check that the schedule is running as normal. Thirdly, there are 'link Governor' meetings - for this you will be directed to a separate page on our website. Fourthly there are Committee and Full Governor meetings.

Link Governor Meetings and Visits

All Governors are linked to a particular curriculum subject or an area of school life. This allows Governors to become well acquainted with that area, and through school visits and background reading to develop an in-depth knowledge. Please click here to be re-directed to our Link Governors page.
