Governors come from all walks of life but share a common interest - Millfields Primary School.

The Governors are responsible for effective strategic management of the school, for the school budget and for Health & Safety. They help to set and monitor the school philosophy and policies, which is accomplished by meeting every half term. Governors do not make day-to-day decision about the running of the school – this is the role of the Headteacher, supported by the staff.

The Governing body is made up of representatives of the staff, parents, Local Authority and the community. All are volunteers who give up their time freely to ensure the school is managed effectively and to the benefit of the children.

Associate members do not have voting rights. All terms of office are 4 years from date of appointment. Appointments to posts of Chair and Vice-Chair are for a two year period.
