Our Governors at Sherwood Junior School

Our governing body works through two main committees: Curriculum and Standards, Finance and General Purposes and Pupil and Personnel. In addition we have ‘link’ governors who monitor specific aspects of the work of the school and report back to the committees. At our termly full governing body meetings we work with a Local Authority appointed clerk who can be contacted via Governor Services at Meadow House. Our Committee meetings are minuted by an external clerk, Mrs Vicci Catmur Smith.

Minutes from our full Governing Body meetings are a public record, and are available for parents to read. Please pop in to the office if you would like a copy and they will arrange this for you.

The Governing Body of Sherwood Junior School is made up of a combination of staff, the Headteacher, parents of pupils and people from the wider community with an interest in the education offered by the school.

If you would like to contact any of our school governors, you can pop in and speak to our office staff who can advise you around the best way to get in touch.

We have spaces for 8 governors at Sherwood Junior School (plus the Head Teacher).

Our Governors play a vital role in the running of our School.
