The local governing body is responsible for the overall strategic management of the school, although in practice, many of the day to day functions are delegated to the Headteacher.

Governors serve for a period of up to four years and may offer to serve again at the end of their term. Our school governing body at Lulworth and Winfrith is made up of staff, parents, members of the community and foundation governors from the church community.

Governors are regular visitors to the school. The governing body meet together termly and also conduct link visits at intervals throughout the year as part of their monitoring duties.
