Welcome from our Governors

A very warm welcome from the Governing Body of .

It is a privilege to serve as governors of our school and to play a part in a community in which children are at the heart of everything we do. We are incredibly proud of our pupils, our dedicated staff and the strong relationships we share with our families and wider community.

As governors, we share a clear ambition: to ensure that every child is happy, safe, valued and inspired to achieve their very best. We want our school to be a place where children develop a genuine love of learning, grow in confidence and character, and leave us well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

Our role is strategic. We work closely with the Headteacher and senior leaders to help shape the vision and direction of the school, while providing both support and constructive challenge. We hold leaders to account for the educational performance of the school, oversee the effective use of resources and ensure that the decisions we make always have the best interests of our children at their heart.

Good governance is also about knowing our school well. Our governors bring a range of skills, experiences and perspectives to their roles. We meet regularly, visit school, talk with leaders, staff and pupils, and take time to understand both what is working well and where we can continue to grow and improve.

We are fortunate to be part of a school community where governors, staff, parents and carers work together with a shared sense of purpose. We greatly value the contribution that families make to school life and welcome your views, ideas and involvement.

On these pages, you can find out more about who we are, the responsibilities we hold and the work of our Governing Body.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our governors’ page. We hope it gives you a sense not only of what we do, but of how proud we are to serve Lower Darwen Primary School and its wonderful children.

Chair of Governors
