Governors Welcome

Dear Parents, Carers and Families,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Penn Wood Primary and Nursery School on behalf of the Governing Board.

As Governors, we take immense pride in the school’s leadership, staff, and—most importantly—our children. From the moment you step into Penn Wood, we are confident you will experience the warm and dynamic learning environment that makes our school so special.

School Governors are ordinary people just like you.  We work alongside the Headteacher and her leadership team.  Our work is strategic and we are not involved in the day-to-day leadership and management of the school.  This is the Headteacher’s responsibility.  Governors help the school set high standards by planning for the school’s future and setting targets for school development.  We act as critical friends to the leadership team to ensure that we support and challenge them to achieve the best that they can.  The Governing Board is accountable to parents and the community for what it does.

Penn Wood Governors have high aspirations for our school, and are committed to providing a high quality creative learning environment which allows all our children to achieve their full potential, and ensures the best possible life chances for every one of them. I hope your child will have many memorable learning experiences while with us and that your association with our school is a rewarding and happy one.

Best wishes

Carol Pearce & Rosa Hopkins
