Governors
Swimbridge Church of England Primary School’s governing body exists to provide strategic direction and an oversight of the leadership, management and operation of the school. The governors help to drive the School's vision for education and take a strategic view of its activities. They bring experience and expertise from other walks of life into the school. This section informs you who the governors are, how they are appointed and elected, what they do and what their legal duties are.
If you are interested in becoming a governor at our school, please contact the Headteacher on 01271 830437 or via our Clerk to Governors at gbclerk@swimbridge-primary.org
If you would like to raise a complaint please also email the Clerk to Governors in the first instance on the address above.
