Meet the Governors
The Governing Body welcomes the views of parents and we are always happy to discuss issues with you.
If there is any matter that concerns you, or if you have ideas about how to improve the school, please feel free to contact us.
Parent Governors are often available on the school grounds in the morning and after school.
If you are interested in the work we do, would like to find out more, or have any questions, please contact the Chair of the governing body by emailing HolmleighParentGovernors@gmail.com
