The governing body of Ash Grange is a committed and dedicated group of volunteers.  We come from all walks of life and backgrounds to represent

the parents, staff and local community. Our priority is the education and well-being of the children, staff and local community.  

The three core functions of a governing body are:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

VACANCY FOR COMMUNITY GOVERNOR

Peter Jackson our co-opted governor from the local community stood down at the end of the last school year after many years of service. This opens up the chance for a member of our community to join our Governing Body.   

We want our Governing Body to be fully representative of our community and so seek someone from our multi-cultural community. It is so important for children to see adults in all roles of life so that they can be inspired to achieve this for themselves.   

This role is not open to a parent of the school or nursery currently. We are looking for someone with a business or HR background.  If you want to find out more please follow the link or come and talk to Mrs Curtis.
