The Chair of Governors: Mr Pete Jones

Lightmoor Village Primary School’s Governing body is made up of Governors from a range of different professions. All Governors have completed a skills audit and we ensure that when new Governors are appointed they can bring additional skills and expertise to the Governing Body. In October 2014 we reconstituted the Governing Body in line with the new DfE regulations.

The Governing Body meets at least twice a term. If you are interested in becoming a Governor or finding out more about the role, please contact the school office.​
