Our Governors

At New Moston Primary School, our Governing Body plays a vital role in ensuring the school delivers the highest standards of education for every child.

Governors are volunteers who work in partnership with the Headteacher and senior leadership team to provide strategic oversight, hold the school to account, and ensure that resources are used effectively. They help shape the vision, monitor progress, and ensure that decisions are always made in the best interests of the children.

Our governors bring a wide range of experience and perspectives, and are committed to the success, well-being, and future of every child at New Moston.

Below you can meet our governors and learn more about their roles, responsibilities, and areas of focus.
