Governors Login

The Governing Body is responsible for the strategy and long-term running of the school. They support and challenge the Head Teacher and the Senior Leadership Team, ensuring that the school as a whole is providing the best education for all pupils. They work in partnership with the entire school community, communicate regularly with the school, conduct visits and attend special assemblies.

The Governing Body are involved in lots of decisions about the school, but the Head Teacher is is the person to approach with individual queries about day-to-day issues.

If you are interested in becoming a Governor, please contact the school to obtain information and an application pack.

Meet the Governing Body

Dominic Honey – Local Authority Governor

Rebecca Eyre – Parent Governor

I heard there was a position available to become a governor in a school newsletter. After much consideration I decided I was maybe too young and under qualified for the job so left it. After one of my children’s assemblies I spoke to the head teacher about the opportunity and was assured that age does not matter so applied. I was invited to a meeting where I decided to stay as I thought it would be beneficial for me and I could learn something. I like to believe I am now part of making an impact on all the students’ learning and growth. I currently work in another school and wanted a way to contribute to my own children’s learning. I feel this is the best way, and in the process, I have the benefit of helping myself grow both professionally and personally.

Mouna Marhri – Parent Governor

I am a mother of a 4 year old son who attends Grange Park School. I wanted to play an active part in my son’s school as educational attainment is very important to my family. Since becoming a governor, I feel a sense of achievement in shaping the excellent work done by all at Grange Park.

I am a CIPS qualified strategic procurement and commissioning with extensive experience across local government and the NHS. My area of expertise is within Adults social care, children’s services and public health.  I have excellent stakeholder management and relationship building skills, which are blended with expert procurement knowledge and commercial acumen.  These are key skills which enable me to contribute to the work of the Governing Board and School, in particular with managing the School’s operational costs in a challenging economic climate.

Lorraine Plummer-Walrond – Partnership Governor

My name is Lorraine Plummer-Walrond and I have been a governor at Grange Park Infant and Nursery school since 2007.  During this time, I have seen the school go from strength to strength and this is a testament to the hard work of the senior leadership team, teachers and staff members.

I initially joined the school as a governor in order to give back to the community.  It is a privilege to play a part in helping to run the school, as I feel education is important and we need to maximise the potential of every child.

I have a son who attends secondary school and throughout his life he has been blessed to have people who have supported and encouraged him in many ways but especially with having a growth mindset.  This is what Grange Park Infant and Nursery School is instilling in their students every day.

As a former actress, journalist and now a Computer Science teacher, I hope to use my transferable skills to make a positive contribution to supporting and improving the school in the future.
