The College’s Governing Body has a membership of up to 17 people including the Principal/CEO and Staff/Student Governors. Governors are appointed, initially, for a four-year period of office (excepting Student Governors who are usually appointed for a period of one academic year). At the end of this period, they may be appointed for one further four-year term.
On appointment, Governors sit on the full Governing Body and some Governors also sit on one of the Committees (Audit, Search and Governance, Student Liaison and Performance and Remuneration).
College Governors are unpaid, voluntary positions although appropriate expenses are payable.
Training and Support
The College is very aware that both new, and existing Governors, should have access to a full programme of training and support to enable them to discharge their responsibilities effectively and with confidence.
The Governance Adviser and Clerk to the Corporation, Karen Rolinson, will take all new members through an induction process using nationally-devised materials.
In collaboration with the College management and administration staff, Karen also facilitates Governor training events during the year. Recent events have included Safeguarding, Prevent, FE benchmarking and National Leadership of Governance.
