School Governors
Who are our school governors?
The governors are unpaid volunteers who are all motivated to make a positive contribution to the education of Thorndon children. Our governors are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some are parents of children in the school, some live in the neighbourhood, others work in the local business community or are appointed by the Trust. There is always one staff governor.

How often do governors meet?
Governors meet as a Local Governing Body at least once a term.
In between meetings, governors attend training sessions, carry out school visits, review documents and respond to emails and telephone calls as needs demand. On average, the role demands around 15 days of commitment per year.
How do I contact the governors?
Governors are happy to be approached in person in the playground (if available). More formal approaches can be made by writing to the Chair of Governors, Stephen Page. Letters for him can be left with the school office. Alternatively, governors can be contacted at the following email address: office@thorndonprimary.org.uk
