Meet the Governors

The Governing Body is made up of a number of people who support and challenge the school in its efforts to continually improve and deliver the best outcomes for the children of Stoke and their families. They meet regularly in school to discuss the strategic direction of the school. 

 

If you wish to discuss any area of school with the Chair of Governors please contact Bill Gallagher via the school office.
