The Governing Body
Contacting the Governing Body
To contact the Governing Body please either send an email to the school office
office@kegworthprimary.org for the attention of the Governors
or alternatively send a letter to the school addressed to the Governing Body.
The Governors meet regularly and although their work is largely unseen by the public, it is of great importance to the running of the school. The role of the Governing Body has changed over recent years and the governors have now taken on the full responsibility for the physical and financial running of the school, appointment of staff and the curriculum.
Minutes of all Governor meetings are kept in school and are available on request.

All of the governors have specific roles within the governing body, for example taking the lead or safeguarding, special educational needs or particular areas of the curriculum. The current roles of the governors are set out in the governors handbook, which is available at the link below. The whole Governing Body meets at least once a term.
