Meet Our School Governors

The register is reviewed annually, but governors are reminded that they should declare any changes as and when they occur.

The Local Governing Board of Green Lane operates one single meeting structure. There are no committees, all delegated responsibilities are discussed at the Local Governing Board meetings.

To contact our Chair of Governors, please contact the school office.
