The Governors of Willow Grove Primary School believe it is important that the Governing Board reflects the diversity of our school community. Diverse Boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for our children and young people.

Data is currently collected on the diversity of the Board, which is used to inform our recruitment and training needs to ensure that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision-making. However, due to our relatively small Board, we do not publish this data online as individual Governors could be identified, and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.

The remit of the Governing Body is to:

• Ensure the clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
• Hold the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of the staff.
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The Chair of Governors can be contacted directly by emailing chairofgovernors@willowgroveprimary.org.uk
