Home / About Us / Our Governing Body

Our Governing Body

Governors play a very important role in the leadership and management of the school. Elemore Hall is fortunate in having a strong, committed and vibrant Governing Body however we are still short of a few members to take us to our maximum consisting of 14 people from within the school, parents and members of the local community.

Our Governing Body is fairly stable however when we do have vacancies we often struggle to recruit new Governors partly because of our relative geographical isolation. If you would be interested in becoming a governor at the school (either Co-opted or Parent) please contact the Headteacher at the school who will be happy to give you more information.

Governor Update Newsletters

Governors produce a termly newsletter to highlight some of the things that they have been doing.
