Governors

The Governors at Ashwell School are a team of hard working and committed individuals who contribute to the work of the governing board in ensuring high standards of achievement for all our children by:

  • setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
  • overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

All of our school Governors give their time and energy on a voluntary basis because they care passionately about our school, the children, the staff and our place in the wider community.

The Governor email address is: governors@ashwell.herts.sch.uk or they can be contacted through the school office.

The Governing Body meets approximately once every half term. Minutes of these meetings are available from the school office.

School policies, not on the website, are available on request from the school office.
