Peterbrook Primary School is fortunate to have a team of enthusiastic, committed and knowledgeable volunteer Governors who work closely with the Headteacher and Senior Leaders on the strategic development of the school. The Governing Body is a group of individuals who are elected, nominated or co-opted from several key stakeholder groups; staff, parents, the local authority, and the wider community. The role of a Governor is voluntary, and they give freely of their time and energy to support the school.

Our Co  Chair of Governors from September 2024 are Mr. Jim. Wheeliker and Mr. John. Byrnes. They can be contacted via the school office.

If you would like to know more about being a Governor, or you are interested in putting yourself forward please contact the Headteacher for further information.

Governing Body Diversity Data

As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:

· target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity.

· develop and adapt governing body practices to ensure full participation.

· prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas.

· address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks.

However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.
