Who Are the School’s Governors?

The current members of the Governing Board are listed below, together with the responsibilities they hold on the Board and their term of office.  Associate Governors are appointed by the Board to provide occasional advice in specific areas:  they do not hold voting rights nor are they required to attend governor meetings unless relating to advice being given.

We are always happy to answer any questions about school governance and our work, or to hear from individuals who may be interested in becoming school governors.  We can be contacted via the School Office or by email to: chairofgovernors@georgeham-primary.devon.sch.uk.
