Meet the Governors

Home » About Cleaswell Hill School » Meet the Governors

 

Welcome to our governors’ page. We are very proud of our school and love to visit whenever we can.

There is a real sense of community within the building, where pupils, governors and staff work together to improve the school.

Between us we have a wide range of skills (recently audited) which enhance the school.

As governors we strive to improve our skills in order to be effective. This has included training in areas such as Safeguarding & Child Protection, Cyber Security, PREVENT, Governor Induction and Safer Recruitment.

If you wish to contact any of us, please get in touch via admin@cleaswellhill.org or 01670 823182.
