The School Governing Body is composed of representatives from the Church, local community, school and parents. They oversee school effectiveness in relation to the School Development Plan and offer an invaluable leadership mechanism of support and challenge that helps the Headteacher to make effective decisions, ensuring that they are leading the school in accordance with its vision and values. The Governors hold half-termly meetings and may form committees or panels to focus on specific areas of operation.

These are the School Governors for Bengeworth CE Academy.

You may contact the Chair of Governors or other school governors at any time via email, see details below:
