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.
