The Governing Body at Salendine Nook is made up of 6 Co-Opted Governors, 2 Parent Governors, 2 Staff Governors and the Principal, Mrs J Hornsby. In addition to the 2 elected Parent Governors, a number of the other Governors are also parents and others are parents of students who have recently left the school. This ensures that the people who are probably our biggest stakeholders are very well represented and have a say in how the school is run and managed. Our Governors come from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions, which ensures that we have the necessary skills and experience to carry out our role professionally. We are chaired by Mr Andrew Bird and the Vice Chair is Mrs Kalsoom Hussain.

We hold four full Local Governing Body meetings each year. We also have two sub-committees;

Curriculum and Monitoring
Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare

Each of these committees has a different Chair and meet on a regular basis.

Raising a concern

If you wish to raise a concern or make a formal complaint, please see Heritage MAT complaints policy

In the first instance we would always request that the school is given an opportunity to resolve any such issue. If this is unsuccessful and you still wish to contact the governing body, this can be arranged through Mrs Helen Broadley at heb@snhs.uk

For all other information on governance, please see the Heritage Multi Academy Trust website, including the Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association and the Funding Agreement.
