Governors

The Governing Body at Winnington Park Primary School and Nursery work extremely hard to support the school and ensure that the future development of the school as well as the best interests of all pupils, are at the forefront of their discussions. The Governors make decisions, alongside the Senior Leadership Team, that they believe allow each child to fulfil their full potential, both academically and socially within our school community.

"Governors are knowledgeable and committed to the school. They keep a close eye on its performance and provide appropriate challenge and support to leaders. For example, link governor roles enable governors to scrutinise and evaluate the impact of the leaders’ work. This is particularly evident in relation to the use and impact of the pupil premium strategy for disadvantaged pupils. Governors have a secure knowledge of their statutory duties and carry these out effectively." - Ofsted May 2026
