Governance

We are committed to strong governance and to operating as an open and accountable organisation. Our Board of Governors is made up of a diverse group of individuals selected through a combination of democratic and skills-based processes. To find out more about our Governance, click here.

Elected Governors

Six Governors are elected, direct, through a poll of registered electors in the SG6 postcode area. The elections take place every five years. The six candidates polling the highest number of votes are appointed to serve for a five year term.

Elections were held in September 2022. Future elections will be announced on this webpage and through local media.
