College Corporation

The Corporation is the governing body of Wyke College. It oversees the way that the College is run and aims to ensure that the College delivers what its community needs and makes effective use of the resources it has available. It represents the interest of the local community in particular and the public interest in general.

Corporation members are unpaid volunteers. The Corporation seeks, through its membership, to be accountable to all its stakeholders: students, parents, staff and the local community. Student, parent and staff members are elected to Corporation by students, parents and staff, respectively, and other Corporation members are appointed by Corporation on the advice of its Search Committee.

Types of Committee

Corporation also operates through seven committees:

Can anyone attend Corporation meetings?

Yes. Meetings of full Corporation are open to members of the public, subject to the restriction that at the discretion of the Chair certain items may be considered confidential. Corporation committee meetings are not open to the public. Members of the public who wish to attend a full Corporation meeting should contact the Clerk to the Corporation, giving at least 24 hours notice.

Can anyone see Corporation papers?

Some of the business conducted by Corporation is confidential and not available to general access but the bulk is open to public scrutiny. Members of the public who wish to see the register of members’ interests, Corporation Code of Conduct, or the agendas, minutes not already on the website, or any other papers connected with meetings of the Corporation or of its committees, should contact the Clerk to the Corporation.
