Dorchester Middle School is part of the Wessex Multi Academy Trust (WMAT), a single entity established to undertake a strategic collaboration to improve and maintain high educational standards across a number of schools.  DMS has its own School Governance Committee (SGC) which is a committee of the WMAT Board of Trustees.

Our School Governance Committee consists of a group of enthusiastic and committed people who volunteer to work in partnership with the school leaders to shape the future of the school, to decide the key issues that will help staff to raise standards and to determine how the school will best spend its money.  The SGC also assigns Link Governors to work across the key areas of the school to achieve these aims.  We regularly review the skills set, training needs and experience of the SGC to ensure effective governance of the school. 

Please address any Governor-related correspondence to the Chair of Governors, Mr Rob Trickey and send it to the school office clearly marked for his attention or email the Clerk of Governors, Ms Hazel Serkis at: hserkis@wessex.ac
