The management committee is Chessbrook ESC's governing body. The committee is comprised of local Primary and Secondary Headteachers, County Councillors and Alternative Provision providers.
This is an excellent combination for ensuring that Chessbrook meets local needs in the context of education. The committee also oversee how we operate and the way we spend our budget of public monies.
