Bath and Wells MAT

Governors

The school governors, representing parents and staff are appointed to maintain a general oversight of school policies, the curriculum, grounds and buildings, the budget and the general conduct of the school. 

The governors act as critical friends whose main aim is to ensure that our children have a challenging and stimulating time at the school and that they receive the best possible education.

Meetings of the full governing body are held monthly to consider a variety of items, and to receive reports from the head teacher concerning the life and work of the school. Sub committees also meet regularly to look at the key areas of the curriculum, finance, personnel and premises.

MAT Governor – appointed by the BWMAT

 

Term of Office: 11/11/21 – 10/11/25

“I am proud to serve as a governor at Wembdon St George’s Church School, a role I have continued even after my children left the school in July 2024. Remaining involved allows me to give back to a community that has meant so much to my family.

My background is in primary education, where I taught for many years and held the position of staff governor. Before relocating to Somerset, I was also Chair of Governors at a school in Reading, an experience that deepened my understanding of school leadership and governance.

I now work for a local charity that supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This role keeps me closely connected to educational policy and practice, and I am passionate about ensuring that all children have access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive.

It’s a privilege to contribute to the ongoing development of Wembdon St George’s, supporting the staff, children, and wider school community.”
