OUR SCHOOL GOVERNORS                 

Willesborough Infant and Junior school formally federated on the 15th of January 2019.  On this date, a new Willesborough Schools Governing Body formed which takes responsibility for the strategic leadership and management of both schools.

Our Assistant headteachers, Shelly King, Kitty Healy, Emily Sparrow and Andrea Cooper are all Associate Governors. 

The role of the governing body is a very rewarding one.  We work as a team and are there to offer support challenge and advice, helping the school set high standards and targets for school improvement.

Our governing body is responsible for the strategic direction of the school, to act as a “critical friend” andit  is committed to ensuring that Willesborough Infant School provides the best possible education for all our children.  We work as a team and meet in full once a term.  A great deal of work goes on between our meetings, supporting the work of the Headteacher and her staff who are responsible for leading and managing the school on a day-to-day basis.

Steve Cooper is the CEO of 'Cry in the Dark' a charity that supports disadvantaged Romanian children and young people. Mark Hirst is the pastor of Willesborough Baptist church. Barney Hall is the pastor of Gateway church. As well as challenge and support, as members of our Governing Body. Steve, Mark and Barney offer further opportunity to reach out and link with our community.
