Board of Governors

Welcome to Barnsley College Governors website. Here you can access information about the Board of Governors and its Committees, its legal status, Policies and procedures and minutes of Board and Committee meetings.
The Board of Governors is responsible for the quality of service that the College offers to its learners and the local community and for the College’s financial health and strategic direction. It meets on a termly basis to ensure the monitoring of College performance and prescribed compliance takes place. The framework which the Board operates is derived from the Instrument and Articles of Government.  More information about the legal status of the College and its framework of operation can be found here.

The current board consists of 15 members drawn from local businesses and the local community, whose skills and experience make a vital contribution to the continuing development of the organisation. Governors work on a voluntary basis and are totally committed to their role, working closely with senior management to achieve the College’s strategic aims. Membership details and governor profiles can be found here.

The Board has developed a high profile within the College through its Link Governor programme and through attendance at the many student focused events that are held throughout each year. Board and committee meetings are held termly; and the minutes can be found here.

Governance policies relating to Access to Governing Body meetings and Recruitment of new governors can be found here.

Vacancies occur on the governing body from time to time. If you would like to make a valuable contribution to your community and are interested in finding out more, please contact the Clerk to the Governors.
