    Our Governors

    The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools are collaborating with Stoney Middleton CE Primary School, resulting in two governing bodies.  Please see below for details of the governors linked to our schools and their roles.

    The Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools

    The governing body for the Woodland Federation of Peak District Schools consists of 13 governors; 2 Parent governors, 1 Ex-Officio governor, 2 Foundation governors,  1 Local Authority governor,  1 staff governor, 5 co-opted governors (2 of whom are staff members) and the executive headteacher. 

    Our governors are drawn from a range of important stakeholders from our three schools - the parents, staff, church and local authority. They work very hard on behalf of the schools and often have a specific area that they monitor and help to develop. Governors are elected for a 4 year term of office.
