The Governors at Belthorn play an important role in setting the strategic direction for the school. Each Governor sits on one or more of three main committees: Finance, Health and Safety, and Teaching and Learning. Committee meetings are held every term, along with a termly meeting of the Full Governing Body. The Governing Body is made up of parents, members of staff and members of the community.

Signed minutes of all meetings (including reports and documents considered at any such meeting) are available for any person wishing to inspect them by request from the Clerk to Governors.
