--- title: "Our Governing Body" url: "https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance/our-governing-body" school: "Seaton Valley Federation" --- # Our Governing Body The Seaton Valley Federation is a single governing body for three schools: - Seaton Sluice Middle School - Whytrig Middle School - Seaton Valley High School This is to ensure that decision-making about educational provision is integrated for students aged 9 to 19 within the Seaton Valley. The constitution of the Seaton Valley Federation governing body is: - two parent governors - two staff governors (including the Executive Headteacher) - one local authority governor - eleven co-opted governors The full governing body meets at least once each term. Separate committees also meet at least once each term to focus on specific priorities across all three schools. All governors serve on the full governing body and have voting rights on any committees they are members of. Associate members attend all full governing body meetings and committee meetings by invitation. They have voting rights in committee meetings but not the full governing body. - Full Governing Body Chair: Rebecca Bray - Pupil Support Committee Chair: Neil Tully - Resources Committee Chair: Rebecca Bray - Headteacher Appraisal Committee Chair: Rebecca Bray ### Terms of Reference for Full Governing Body and Committees Terms of Reference for Full Governing Body and Committees 179 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/files/documents/SVF_Terms_of_Reference_of_FGB_and_Committees_2025-2026_(1).pdf) ### Governor Policies Code of Conduct for Governors 322 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/files/documents/Code_of_Conduct_for_Governors_SVF_v11.0_(August_2026).pdf) Governors' Allowances Policy 178 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/files/documents/Governors-_Allowances_Policy_SVF_v7.0_(June_2026).pdf) ### Our Federation - [Drone Tour](https://svf.org.uk/tour) - [Welcome to Our Schools](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/welcome) - [Vision and Ethos](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/vision-and-ethos) - [LINC and BEAM](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/linc-and-beam) - [Governance](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance) - [Our Governing Body](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance/our-governing-body) - [Governor Information](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance/our-governors) - [Governor Attendance](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance/governor-attendance) - [Becoming a Governor](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/governance/becoming-a-governor) - [Senior Leadership Team](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/slt) - [Admissions](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/admissions) - [Attendance](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/attendance) - [Policies](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/policies) - [Vacancies](https://svf.org.uk/job-vacancies) - [Equalities](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/equalities) - [Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/send) - [Pupil Premium](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/safeguarding) - [Emergency Arrangements](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/emergency-arrangements) - [Careers Information and Guidance](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/careers-iag) - [Data Protection](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/data-protection) - [School Uniform](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/uniform) - [School Meals](https://svf.org.uk/our-federation/school-meals) - [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://svf.org.uk/support-websites-and-helplines-2) ![Seaton Valley Federation](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/logo/SeatonValley_Logo(2).png) #### Seaton Valley Federation Prospect Avenue Seaton Delaval Northumberland NE25 0FW 0191 2371505 #### Useful Links: - [News](https://svf.org.uk/news) - [Contact Us](https://svf.org.uk/contact-us) - [Events](https://svf.org.uk/events) - [Vacancies](https://svf.org.uk/job-vacancies) #### More Links: - [Calendar](https://svf.org.uk/calendar) - [School Email](https://sites.google.com/achs.svf.org.uk/launchpad-selection) - [My Child at School](https://svf.org.uk/my-child-at-school) - [Term Dates](https://svf.org.uk/term-dates) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Seaton-Valley-Federation-of-Schools-103527542434937) - [X](https://twitter.com/@seatonvalleyfed) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/seatonvalleyfed) © Copyright 2018–2026 Seaton Valley Federation School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://svf.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
