Watermore Primary School

Our School Governors

Welcome   

Dear Parents, Friends and Staff I would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the Watermore Governing Body.

The governing body is made up of a group of motivated volunteers who have been elected to provide strategic direction in line with our vision and values, and to act as a guide to support the ‘Outstanding’ teaching and leadership we have through our Head teacher, Lisa Rawcliffe.

Our role is to ensure that we continue to provide our children with the opportunities to continue to be ‘exemplary’ in all that they do within a happy and secure environment. We ensure that local and national government legislation is met, that we oversee the spend on the school budget, and to challenge all that we do.

Governors take an active role in the school, not only attending meetings and training, but also school functions, and undertaking visits to classrooms.

Should you wish to contact me or are interested in being a Governor, please email clerk@watermoreprimary.org.uk
