Our Governors

At Ropsley Church of England Primary School, the Governing Body plays a vital role in setting the school’s vision, supporting leaders, and holding them to account. Governors help ensure we provide the best possible education by overseeing key areas such as standards, safeguarding, and strategic planning.

Our Governing Body also has a Finance Committee, which carefully monitors the school’s budget and resources, and a Pay Committee, which manages staff pay in line with national guidance. Together, our governors work in partnership with staff, parents, and the wider community to help every child thrive.
