Meet the Governors

Who Are the School’s Governors?

We have up to 11 governors representing different stakeholders in the school and the community.  We always look to have 4 parent governors, one of the teaching team, the Head, a governor chosen by the Local Authority, a governor from within the wider community and two Foundation governors representing the spiritual 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).  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.
