The Governing Body of Leatherhead Trinity School & Nursery

Chair:                               Revd Dan Balsdon
Clerk:                               Jackie Dutton

To contact the Chair of the Governing Body please email chair@leatherheadtrinity.surrey.sch.uk or alternatively the Clerk on clerk@leatherheadtrinity.surrey.sch.uk.

The Governing Body comprises members of the local community, foundation church authorities, parents, school staff and representatives of the Local Authority. 

As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:

• target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
• develop and adapt broad practices to ensure full participation
• prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
• address potential 'blind spots' through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks

However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable. 

The Governing Body of Leatherhead Trinity School & Nursery is constituted and represented as below. Details regarding strategic responsibilities, declared business interests and attendance can be found within the linked documents.

Open Governor Meetings

The Governing Board of Leatherhead Trinity School & Nursery is committed to openness and transparency. Full Governing Board meetings are open to members of the public, including parents, carers and staff, who wish to observe the work of governors.

Those attending do so as observers and are able to gain an insight into how governors fulfil their strategic responsibilities and support the school's ongoing development. Some parts of meetings may be confidential and observers may be asked to leave during these items.

If you would like to attend a meeting as an observer, please submit a request via the school office. Requests should be made no later than 14 days before the meeting date. Places are subject to availability and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of two observers may attend each meeting.

Please read the Open Meeting Protocol below before requesting a place.
