Welcome to the Meet the Governors page.
Mr Richard Capp- Parent Governor
Mr Ash Sood- Co-opted Governor
Miss Sam Mitchell- Staff Governor
The governors of Barley Close Primary School believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.
The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the governing board, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.
Due to our relatively small governing body we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
