Governors

We are very fortunate to have such a committed group of volunteers who, led by Chair Ruth Moody, give their time so freely to support the school and ensure we provide the best education possible for our children.

The school has always been at the centre of the local community. We strive to promote in our children a spirit of working and learning together and this is symbolised in our school logo. The seven leaves of the oak tree represent the school’s six golden rules and the link with the church while the three acorns reflect the partnership between the school, parents and child as well as the Holy Trinity.

See below for a full who’s who, as well as links to the governing body’s latest meeting minutes. Please see our meeting planner here for this academic year to give you an idea of what is covered in our meetings. If you would like to see what’s involved in being a parent governor, please read our summary of the parent governor role here. To contact the governors, please email clerktogovernors@saltfordschool.org.uk.

You can find more information here about how our school governors work within the Futura Learning Partnership governance structure, including the Scheme of Delegation in the ‘Statutory information’ section.

Register of interests and attendance record

Governing bodies are required to publish their register of interests which sets out the relevant business interests of governors and details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register should also set out any relationships between governors and members of the school staff, including spouses, partners and relatives. Please ask at the school office if you wish to see a copy.

Please see the register of governors’ meeting attendance and information on dates of office, committee memberships and register of interests.
