Our school governing board is made up of parents, staff, co-opted and Local Authority governors. The governors meet throughout the year to support and challenge the work of school. The governors make visits to the school, often in their role as a link governor or joining the Senior Leadership Team in monitoring exercises. If you would like any further information about the work of a governing board or how to become a governor, please visit Newham’s website.
Our governing board can be contacted by emailing governors@park.newham.sch.uk
