We currently (July 2018) have a vacancy for one co-opted governor and one parent governor from September 2019. Co-opted governors are members of the local community and who value the very important role early years development plays in the education of our children. Parent governors are volunteers who have parental responsibility for a child in the school at the date of their appointment; they serve for a period of two years. If you are interested in taking on either of these roles please contact the school.
Members of the Governing Body can be contacted via reception.
