Governance
School governors are ordinary people from the local community who wish to make a positive contribution to children’s education. They are the largest volunteer force in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. Governors are not involved in the day-to-day management of the school.
Almost anyone can become a school governor and you can find out more information here. All new governors receive training and support from Ivy Learning Trust and their fellow governors. If you are interested in assisting the school in this way, please contact governance@ivylearningtrust.
Local Governing Body Information
Governors can be contacted through the school office – email: office@larkspurprimary.org
Copies of the minutes of Local Governing Body meetings can be obtained through the school office.
