regulated by the School Governance (Constitution) (England)
Regulations 2012, which set out the arrangements for the
Constitution of Governing Bodies for Maintained Schools in
England.  The Regulations provide for a
Governing Body to be constituted under an Instrument of Government
which sets out the Constitution and determines the composition and
size of the Governing Body.  Under the
Regulations a Governing Body has to have a minimum size of seven
members.  School Governing Bodies can
recommend amendments to their IOG to the Local Authority for
approval.
