The Governing Body

Barns Green Primary School has a dedicated voluntary Governing Body that oversees the management side of the school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. We’re dedicated to helping our school run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children.

You can find out more about who our Governors are on our Meet the Governors page.
