The  members of the Committee meet four times a year.  Meetings start at 6pm and take between one and two hours.

The functions delegated to the Committees are on the Decision Planner at Appendix B.

The school governors would like to hear from any member of the Coppice Farm School community to assist the leadership of the school and ensure the learning experience for our young children is the best it can be.
