Unlike the other committees who meet regularly twice each term, The Personnel Committee meets only when required. The principal role of The Personnel Committee is to evaluate any staff grievances or staffing situations that may occur that due to their sensitive nature require additional confidentiality and support.

The majority of governor support for the Head Teacher, Senior Leadership Team and staff at Thornhill School, such as Staff Welfare and Salary Reviews is the responsibility of the Resources & Community Committee and The Full Governing Board.
