Governors
The Partnership of Birchwood and Holbrook Primary School's Governing Body consists of able and committed governors who are passionate about the school and the place it holds at the centre of the local community. "There exists a very open and honest relationship between leaders and governors. As a consequence, governors understand the school’s current priorities and the improvements that leaders have identified. They readily challenge leaders and visit the school to check on progress towards those priorities" (OFSTED 2016). Governors, along with leaders, are constantly looking to further develop the strategic links that the school has with other schools and the community.
