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 6 times per year, twice in the Autumn term, twice in the Spring term and twice in the Summer Term.
If you are interested in becoming a Governor or finding out more about the role, please contact Mrs Siddons.
