Governors
The Governing Body are committed to taking the School forward to ensure that all the students at Garston Manor School receive the very best educational provision and experience we can provide. The Governing Body are members of the school community who have a variety of backgrounds and skills and a passion for improving outcomes for students. The school Board of Governors offer support and challenge to the school and work very closely with Miss deGraft-Hanson and her staff to ensure that it makes the right decisions for the School and the students. The Governing Body is responsible for:
- The strategic direction of the School
- Accountability to all stakeholders
- Support and Challenge (critical friend)
Our Governing Body is made up of members of staff, parents, Local Authority appointees and members of the local community (i.e. co-opted Governors and associate members with specific skills which are beneficial to the Governing Body). As volunteers the Governing Body needs to make best use of its time and the individual Governor’s skills and experience.
Nominations are invited from parents who wish to become members.
To contact the Governors please contact the school office on 01923 673757 or via email: chairofgovernors@garstonmanor.herts.sch.uk
