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

I was appointed parent governor in November 2019 and I currently have two children at the school. I live in Frampton Cotterell and work in Bristol. You will often see me volunteering at school events and at pick up and drop off. Please come and say hello. I am always happy to talk to other parents and I am very much interested in hearing your views about being a parent of pupils at Watermore.

I was appointed parent governor in September 2022 when my eldest son started at the school. Being a governor allows me to  make a positive difference and support maintaining the high standards Watermore Primary School has achieved. It also provides the opportunity to influence the education of my children, fellow pupils, and the school as a whole.  I am always happy to talk to other parents and I am very interested in hearing the views of parents and children, so please come and say hello at the school pick up and drop off, or at any of the school events.
