OKEHAMPTON COLLEGE PARTNERSHIP BOARD MEETING
Prior to Okehampton College becoming a Federation with a number of local primary schools, it was proposed that once the main Governance of the Federation had been settled, a new body would be convened that would get fully involved with the College and raise any issues of concern from the community that would particularly relate to the school. The group would be given the title of a Partnership Board / Ethos Committee, which would report to the main Governing body.
If you are interested in joining this group, please contact the College.
