Meet the Governing Board

A warm welcome from our Governing Board at Skirlaugh CE Primary School.

Our governors play an important role in supporting and challenging the school to ensure that every child receives the very best education and opportunities to flourish. Working closely with the Headteacher, staff, children and families, we help to shape the strategic direction of the school and uphold our Christian vision.

Our board is made up of 11 governors, bringing together a range of skills, experiences and perspectives. We are proud to work alongside the whole school community to support Skirlaugh in being a place where children can Be Brave, Be Kind and Be Their Best.

Our Co-Chairs of Governors are Mrs Bridget Rodgers and Mrs Paula Evans.
