Willowbrook is part of Ventrus Multi Academy Trust and as such, governance consists of both Trust and local elements. The Board of Trustees operate across Ventrus and are supported by individual school's Local Governing Bodies. You can find out more, including the Terms of Reference for the Local Governing Body here.
Our local governors are:
- Mrs S Omand-Durrant, Co-opted Governor
- Dr M McHutchon, Parent Governor
- Miss A Shawyer, Staff Governor
- Mr C Greenhall, Headteacher
- Miss Joanne Richardson, Clerk to Governors
All local governors are volunteers, drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and are united in supporting children who attend our school.
The Local Governing Body meets once a term to discuss the running of the school, and important issues affecting teaching, learning, resources and premises, as well as the overall direction of the school.
No particular qualifications or experience is required to be a governor and training is provided. The most important qualities for any governor are to be interested in the children and to be prepared to give the time and effort required.
Governors make regular visits to the school and every governor is vetted before appointment. Their meetings are in the evenings and governors are appointed usually for four years.
