Welcome to the Governors' section!
Our school governors are actively involved in the life and work of the school. They support the activities which are going on at Sutton as well as providing challenge to enable the school to move forward; recognising achievements and evaluating progress.
The governors meet termly for the Full Governing Body meeting and in addition to these meetings, there is a management committee which is held termly, on the alternate term to the Full Governing Body Meeting.
The decision to change from subcommittees of Strategic Development and Pupils (SDP) and Finance, General Purposes and Personnel (FGPP) to one management committee was taken in January 2025.
Governing Body minutes are available on request, please contact the school office.

Staff Governors are elected by teaching and non-teaching staff
