The Governing Body is legally responsible for the strategic management of the school. The Governors are made up of parents, members of the community and staff. They work collaboratively across two committees to manage school strategy and hold the Headteacher to account for the operational running of the school.
The Curriculum, Community and Pupil (CCP) Committee meets on a termly basis and oversees the learning and well-being aspects of the school.
The Finance, Premises and Personnel (FPP) Committee meets on a termly basis and oversees business and administration matters.
In addition, all Governors meet together once a term for a full Governing Body meeting.
There are currently vacancies for Governors who could bring specific business skills to the team.
To contact our Governors or for further information please contact the school office.

I am delighted and honoured to serve as Chair of Governors at Wingrave CE School having been a Primary teacher in both Maintained and Independent sectors for more than twenty years. My aim as Chair is to offer strategic support and challenge to our excellent School Leadership Team as the school embraces an exciting future and strives to give our pupils the confidence and opportunities they need to fulfil their potential in all aspects of life and learning. I live in Wingrave with my husband and enjoy the wonderful community life of the village including Church activities, the local Heritage Association, Twinning and helping to run Wingrave’s famous village barbecues.
I have made it my strategic policy to always try to work with the local schools and have experience of doing so with the whole educational age range, both state and independent. I have experience of being a Foundation Governor as well as chairing a Governing Body for a non-church secondary school.
I have been a Parent/Safeguarding Governor based on my Professional experience and background for just over two years . I am involved in the community, curriculum and personnel aspects of school (CCP) which I enjoy . I care deeply about supporting and contributing to children’s safety and well-being and their emotional well-being is of particular interest to me. I became a Governor because I wanted to be able to positively impact what happens in School. I have a Sociology degree and Advanced Diploma in the use of Arts in Therapy and Education. Some of my past roles include work as a Journalist , in Mental Health, Children & Family Support, Bereavement and Training and I take a very holistic approach to life and education.

I have two boys and my eldest attends EYFS. I am passionate about ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.
I am a Foundation Governor approved by the Oxford Diocese with responsibilities for Special Educational Needs and Equalities in the school community. My role is also a link with the local community and the Parish Church. I was a Primary School teacher for over 30 years specialising in Special Education Needs as a SENCo. Now retired I have the time to support the school which my three children attended. I endorse all the aspirations of Wingrave School for the children in their care, underpinned by the tenets of Christianity.
I have a daughter who started at the School in 2019. My aim as a governor is to help ensure the children receive the best possible education in the most appropriate learning environment. I am a firm believer that a solid moral and academic education is the best possible platform for successful, well rounded adults of the future.
I have a deep interest in teaching and inspiring young people and I was involved in a research project team exploring participatory design processes within the Building Schools for the Future capital investment project.
I hope to bring my experience and passion for education to the School. I have two boys both of whom are taught at the School and Preschool.
I am currently a Personal Assistant to the Senior Management Team and the lead on Admissions at a Bucks Grammar School. In this role, I also act as a form tutor to a Year 10 class and previously to a ‘vertical tutor group’ spanning Years 7 to 13.
I am passionate about investing in young people as I believe that a child’s start in life informs not only their future achievements but their overall ethos and character. I became a governor as I wanted to contribute towards the village community and I support the vision that Wingrave School holds. My background gives me a good understanding of the education system and I look forward to sharing my time and knowledge to support the school and it’s children.
Living locally, I am pleased to have the opportunity to put something back into the community by serving as a Governor of Wingrave School. I fully support the school’s vision statement and am currently a member of the Curriculum, Community and Pupil Committee (CCP).
