Welcome to the Governing Body section; in the table below you will find information about our school governors. All governors are appointed by the Governing Body. Please note that we do not have any committees.
Please note that when governors leave we are required to keep their details here for one year after they leave.

We also have an associate member, Josephine Leveridge. She does not have any voting rights.
As we are a small Governing Body, we do not feel that it is appropriate to report on personal information relating to diversity. At Edmund de Moundeford Primary School, we believe that when people feel respected and included, they can be more creative, innovative and successful. While we have more work to do to advance diversity and inclusion, we are working to move our School forward.
