Roundwood Primary School

Who’s Who – Governors

At Roundwood Primary School, our governors are a dedicated team of volunteers who care deeply about our school and its community. We work closely with school leaders and staff to help shape the school’s future, support progress, and ensure every child gets the best possible start in life.

Governors visit regularly, ask thoughtful questions, and help make sure we’re always moving in the right direction. On this page, you’ll find out who our governors are and their allocated monitoring focus areas. We’re proud of the role our governors play in helping Roundwood thrive.

We’ll be recruiting two new parent governors at the end of this academic year (July 2026). If you're a parent who’s passionate about education and keen to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

In the links below, you can learn more about what the role entails, and meet some of our current governors where we explain why we chose to get involved. Please complete the contact form below, using the QR code, if you'd like to register your interest and I will contact you directly.
