Our Board of Governors
As Chair of the Board of Governors I am delighted to welcome you to this section of our school website.
​
At Earlview Primary School and Nursery we are proud to be part of a vibrant caring and forward thinking school community. The role of the Board of Governors is to support and challenge the school leadership ensuring that every child receives the best possible education and opportunities to thrive.
​
One of the great privileges of being involved in school governance is seeing the bigger picture of life at Earlview. While parents and carers naturally focus on their own children’s experiences we have the opportunity to witness the breadth of learning achievement and growth happening across the entire school. It is truly inspiring.
​
Our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. They are enthusiastic kind hard working and a credit to their families and the school. Their eagerness to learn and their positive attitudes shine through in every aspect of school life.
​
We are equally grateful for our dedicated staff team, from the Principal and teaching staff to classroom assistants administrative and support staff. Each member of the team plays a vital role in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where children feel valued and supported.
​
We also deeply appreciate the partnership we share with parents and carers. Earlview is often described as a family and that’s because we recognise that everyone’s contribution matters. Your encouragement and involvement are key to helping our children flourish both academically and personally.
​
As governors we remain committed to working alongside the school leadership to uphold Earlview’s values and ensure that our children continue to learn grow and succeed.
Thank you for visiting and for being part of the Earlview community.
