The Governors

School governors are volunteers who help to run the school. Most schools work with a 

group of school governors - together they are called the ‘governing body’. 

They are involved in decisions about all aspects of managing the school –such as; running buildings and budgets, supporting staff and setting standards of school discipline.

Governors also help to make big decisions about the school’s longterm goals. They support Headteachers, but also ask questions and make sure the Headteacher is taking the school 

in the right direction.

We currently have vacancies for Foundation Governors (assigned by the church). If you are interested in becoming a governor, talk to the Chair of Governors who leads the board. When there is a vacancy for a parent governor, all parents will be informed and 

you will have a chance to stand for election.

Before you put yourself forward, talk to your employer. Many employers recognise the role of school governor as useful work experience and may offer paid leave for governor duties.

To contact the Governing Body, please email: enquiries@hortonprimary.org.uk - FAO The Chair of Governors.

Horton School Governors are federated with St John’s Mead Primary School Governors and are called Sodbury Vale Governing Body.
