Governance
Governors are appointed by ASSET Trustees. Their role is to support school leaders in making the school the best it can be by providing support and challenge. Governors meet twice a term and also regularly visit the school to speak with staff and pupils.
Ringshall School is part of ASSET Education. Find out about the Trust, Governance and Trustees by looking at the ASSET website.
