Staff Governor
On behalf of our Governors, I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to Milton Park Primary School. I hope that through the pages on this website you will find the information that you need and that you will get a feel for what a wonderful school Milton Park is.
Our team of governors is made up of parents, staff and representatives from the local community, who feel passionate about working together to support the amazing work of all staff at the school.
We meet once a half term and also carry out governor visits into school to learn more about the fantastic work of staff and pupils. We are proud to be part of a team that support Mrs Fowler and all the staff at the school who work hard to offer high quality education in such a nurturing, inclusive and safe school environment.
If you are interested in the work of the Milton Park Governors, or would like to join this brilliant team, please pop into the school office or email me on sanderson@miltonparkprimaryschool.co.uk
With best wishes,
Sarah Anderson
Chair of Governors

The minutes of governors meetings are public documents and are open to be viewed by any interested person.
The Governing Board has opted not to place minutes on the school’s website, preferring instead to have them available in the school on request. We have taken this approach as, by their nature, minutes are the written record of an official proceeding. They are therefore not exhaustive records of everything that was said. As a result, the Governors have a concern that reading the minutes in isolation, without the ability to understand the context of the discussion, could be misinterpreted.
Minutes are therefore available to read at the school, where a member of the senior staff or a member of the Governing Board could be available to answer any questions or set the context of the material being discussed.
Note: The Governing Board is not required to make available confidential minutes and minutes which contain material relating to matters which, by reason of the nature, the Governing Board is satisfied should remain confidential.
