Governors - Husthwaite Church of England Primary School

The Governing Body governs Husthwaite and Sessay CE Federation

The Governors are a body of volunteers who work together to make sure that Husthwaite CE Primary School and Sessay CE Primary School are the best that they can be. They are committed to raising standards, encouraging happy, healthy, independent children as well as ensuring the best value for public money.

The governors meet as a full group – Full Governing Body Meetings – and have 2 focus groups. These groups are:

Resources and School Improvement – this group focuses on teaching, pupil progress, the curriculum and the school community as a whole.
