Governance

The Governing Board of Linden Primary School have the responsibility for the education of the children in our school.  The Governors, whose membership includes the school's head teacher, provide strategic leadership to the school and takes key decisions in areas such as finance, staffing structure and appointments and premises, as well as monitoring educational performance and standards through linked curriculum subject responsibilities.

Our members are drawn from parents, staff and the local community, bringing with them a wide range of experiences and skills.  Although voluntary, governors take their responsibilities very seriously and consequently have a genuine impact upon the school and education provided to the children of Linden Primary School.
