Board of Governors

In a Free School, the governance structure has two layers: Members of the Gildredge House Free School Trust, with their own specific responsibilities, and the Board of Governors, where each person fulfils the role of Governor, Director and Trustee.

As Governors, we are aware that the specific knowledge, skills and experience that we bring to our roles can contribute significantly to our overall strategic effectiveness. We are also committed to ongoing training and development opportunities. The Governing Board currently includes ten Governors appointed by the Members, two Members of the Trust, two elected parent Governors and a staff Governor, all volunteering their time to support and challenge the school in order to raise standards of achievement for all students.

The Board of Governors meetings are held throughout the year. Governors are linked to specific curriculum areas, undertake regular monitoring visits and aim to attend as many school events and open days as possible.

Should a person wish to make contact with members of the Governing Board they may do so via the Clerk to the Governors, Mrs J Jenkins, on clerk@gildredgehouse.org.uk
