Our Governors
A warm welcome from the Governors of St John’s Infant and Nursery School.
We'd like to take this opportunity to let you know more about the Governors and our involvement with the school. It is our role to work closely with the senior leadership team to ensure that St. John’s provides an excellent and enjoyable education for its pupils. The governing body brings together parents, teachers, local community members and representatives of the Church. We use our knowledge and experience to set the vision and strategic direction of the school. We hold the Executive Headteacher and Head of School to account for the educational performance of our pupils.
We are a committee of the Poppy Academy Trust.
