Corporation Board
The governing body of 91Ï㽶ÊÓƵ is known as the 91Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Further Education Corporation. It is usually just referred to as ‘The Board’.
The Board is made up of 22 Governors. These include the Principal/Chief Executive, two members of staff and three students (elected by their peers). All other Governors are volunteers. Governors are recruited on the basis of providing the Board with the broad range of skills and experience needed to oversee the running of the College.

Committees
To support its work, the Board operates a number of sub-committees:
Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the College’s risk management and internal control processes and monitoring the work of the audit services.
Curriculum & Quality Committee oversees curriculum development, learner services and support and monitors quality and the self-assessment process.
Finance & Resources Committee oversees College infrastructure including HR, finance, technology and estates planning and monitors progress on major infrastructure projects.
