The Governors of Dorrington Academy volunteer to ensure that we provide the best provision for the pupils of Dorrington. The Governing Body include the Headteacher, teaching staff, parents, local authority appointees and members of the community.

The Governing Body meets as a whole every term unless an extra meeting is required to address urgent business. The Governing Body delegates responsibility to a series of committees which conduct the business of the Governing Body.
