In accordance with School Governance Regulations 2013 the governing board has made provision for allowances to be paid to governors or associate members for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the context of carrying out their duties. We draw your attention to the Governor Allowances and Expenses Policy which is on the school website and provided to all governors. The policy details types of allowable expenses and how to claim them.
