Governors
The Parent Governors welcome representation from parents on any issue or matter of concern. Whilst most matters concerning an individual child, or the running of the school, are best raised with the class teacher or the Head of School, there may be occasions when you prefer to talk to one of the Parent Governors. They can be contacted as follows:
