Governors - St John's CE School, Crowborough

A warm welcome from the governors of St John’s CE Primary School.

The role of the Governing Body is to:

Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school
Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the pupils.
Oversee the financial performance of the school, making sure any money received by the school is well spent.

Day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the headteacher though some governors are allocated specific responsibilities by the Governing Body. Much of the work of the Governing Body is undertaken through meetings and regular visits to the school.

Our intent is that we are open and transparent in all that we do.

If there is anything that you would like to raise with the governors, whether you would like to discuss something directly or raise an item for consideration at one of our full governor meetings, you can contact us either by writing c/o the school, or by e-mail to our chair of governors:
