At the annual meeting new members have to dedicate themselves to the committee for at least a year.
We urgently need parents joining the committee who are prepared to do jobs and not just attend the few meetings we have over the year when the committee discusses and debate issues. Considering the size of our school, the committee is small and thereby limited by what it can achieve.
Current office bearers are
Chair - Lucy Files
Secretary - Federica Warnock
Treasurer- Matt Smyth
