Governors at Red Barn Community Primary School 

At Red Barn Primary School, our governing body plays a vital role in supporting the headteacher by ensuring the school's vision and values are upheld. Through their guidance and oversight, our governors ensure that every child who steps aboard the ’Red Barn Bus’ is supported in achieving our shared goals of recognising how to help others, achieving their best, staying safe and healthy, and developing a lifelong love of learning. 

By working in partnership with our headteacher, staff, parents, and the wider community, our governing body plays a crucial role in shaping the future of Red Barn Primary School and ensuring that our young people are well-equipped for their next journey in life. 

The chair of our governing body is Lisa McGuire, who brings a wealth of business experience and a deep commitment to the success of our school. Our dedicated team of governors comprises individuals who come from diverse backgrounds, including parents, community members, and representatives from both the education and business sector. Collectively, they work tirelessly to provide support for the strategic direction of the school and a range of important duties, including: 

• holding the headteacher and school leadership team accountable for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
• overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
• supporting the headteacher in the day-to-day running of the school
• championing the school's vision and values, ensuring they are embedded throughout the school community 

Get Involved 

We actively encourage parents and members of the local community to get involved with the governing body. Becoming a parent governor or a link governor (where you take responsibility for a specific area of the school) is a fantastic way to contribute to the life of Red Barn Community Primary School. 

Our governing body meets regularly throughout the academic year, and we welcome your interest and participation. If you would like to learn more about the role of a governor, or would like to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
