The Governors of our school are responsible, with Miss Harris - Headteacher, for running the school. We are elected for a term of four years and include representatives of the local community, our parents,carers and staff.

Although the day-to-day management of the school is the concern of Miss Harris and staff, we help make sure that the school meets its legal obligations and provides an education and ethos which works with the wishes and aspirations of our community.

We work closely with the school staff and give support and advice. We meet at least once a term and look at teaching and learning and resources/finance.

If you would like to find out more about our roles, or would be interested in becoming a Governor for Wansdyke Primary, please email the school clerktogovernors@wansdykeschool.org.uk who will put you in touch with our Chair.
