Governors
Priestley Smith School governors show an enormous level of commitment to the school and work extremely hard in the interests of our students and families. Our governing body has a wide range of differing experiences. We have representatives from families, business, education and the voluntary sector as well as elected and co-opted staff members. This helps to ensure we have the right range of skills to carry out our duties.
Governors meet regularly in both full governing body meetings and in curriculum, finance and personnel subcommittees. They play a key role in evaluating the work of the school and in securing school improvement.
Priestley Smith School has 12 governors.
