Governors
Welcome to the page for the Findern Primary School Governing Body.
Our Board Diversity
Our governing body is a reflection of both our school families and our wider community. It is represented by governors of a wide range of ages, gender, race ,religion and physical ability. As such, we are confident we reflect our families and our community. We also consider diversity to mean the diverse skills and knowledge that our board possess as well as diversity of their protected characteristics. We are fortunate to have a board which consists of a variety of knowledge, skills and experiences including backgrounds in education, business and finance, HR, police, early years pre-school and health care. Together they make sound, knowledge based decisions for the efficient running of the school and children’s education.
