Our Governors

Our Governors

We are a Jewish Voluntary Aided primary school, and our Governing Body plays a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of the school. Governors are responsible for making key decisions, approving policies and procedures, and overseeing how the school’s budget is allocated.

As a Voluntary Aided school, the Governing Body is also responsible for contributing 10% towards building and maintenance costs, which would otherwise be funded by the Local Authority in community schools. To ensure our facilities are well maintained, ongoing fundraising is essential in supporting the Governors to meet this commitment.

Our Governing Body includes dedicated parents and staff members, who are elected to serve a four-year term of office, bringing valuable perspectives from across the school community.
