Meet our Governors 2

Welcome to our community of dedicated school governors

A team of passionate volunteers who help guide our school’s strategic direction and champion the best outcomes for all our pupils.

Our governors bring a wide range of experience, skills and perspectives from across our local community. They work collaboratively with school leaders to provide thoughtful support and constructive challenge, ensuring that our strategic priorities, wellbeing, and educational excellence are always at the heart of what we do. Together, they help shape a learning environment where every pupil feels valued and inspired.

Through their commitment and service, our governors help ensure strong governance, meaningful engagement with families and stakeholders, and thoughtful oversight of the school’s vision for growth and improvement. We are grateful for their time, insight and dedication to our community.

Forge Valley is part of INOVA Multi-Academy Trust. The Trust board is responsible for all the schools within the trust and determines the mission, vision and trust improvement strategy. Local context and community links are provided by Local Governing Boards. 

Our Local Governing Board consists of representatives from staff, parents/carers and the wider community. It provides support and challenge to senior leaders at the school, whilst reviewing and monitoring areas for which it has delegated responsibility from the trust board. These include: 

• Ensuring that the voice of all stakeholders is heard and taken into account in the work of the trust and the school.
• Ensuring that we meet the needs of our community through effective engagement. 
• Ensuring that the experience and welfare of our pupils, including the curriculum, is well-matched to the needs of our community. 
• Challenging the school to ensure deployment of financial resources best fits the needs of the whole school.
