The Governing Body 2023/24

Welcome to the Governing Body of Jotmans Hall Primary School.

Jotmans Hall Primary School is served by a Board of Trustees (Governing Body) of 10 trustees and 4 members, (1 trustees is also a member) dedicated to the belief that the education of the whole child is fundamental.

We work in close partnership with the staff, pupils and parents in providing good quality education for all our students, which emphasises care for one another, scholastic achievement and sporting commitment.

Our aim is to provide an environment that respects the needs, values, cultures, and opinions of others, where students can develop positive attitudes towards learning, discover success and develop self-esteem and where every student has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

We are committed to working with the staff to ensure high standards of achievement, behaviour and discipline and to ensure excellence for all our students not only in academic matters but also in the outstanding range of extra-curricular and sporting opportunities offered by the dedicated staff.

We are looking forward to the continued success of the school and to working as part of the school community in ensuring that our students meet the challenge of today’s world with confidence and enthusiasm.

The Governing Body is responsible for overseeing the work that needs to be done to ensure everything is in place for the School.
