Meet the Governors

Who Are the School’s Governors?

We have up to 11 governors representing different stakeholders in the school community.  This includes 4 parent governors, a member of the school staff, the Head Teacher, a governor chosen by the Local Authority, governors co-opted from the local community due to skills or experience they bring to the Board and two Foundation governors representing the Christian ethos of the school.  The best governing boards are made up of people with varying skills sets and interests.  At Georgeham we all have a specific responsibility (for which no prior experience is needed) and sit on a committee focusing on either the Teaching and Learning aspects of the school or the Resources aspects of the school (such as finance, budgeting, personnel, buildings).  We also each share responsibility for one area of what is called the Foundation Subject curriculum.  The table below lists our current governors, their roles and any vacancies on the governing body.  To learn more about their attendance at meetings and to see a full register of their business interests please see our Governors Register page. We have also listed our Associate Governors who are appointed to undertake specific roles for the Governing Body and report to the Committees but do not sit on the Full Governing Body.

We are always happy to answer any questions about school governance and our work, or to hear from individuals who may be interested in becoming school governors.  We can be contacted via the School Office or by email to: chairofgovernors@georgeham-primary.devon.sch.uk.
