Governors
In general terms the Governors are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the school. The Headteacher is responsible for day to day management and operational matters. The Governing Body meet once a term. Governor's details are given below. The term of office for each governor is four years, apart from that of the Head Teacher.
Dear Parents,
Following the recent parent governor election, we are pleased to welcome both Richard Harding and Luke Page to the governing board.
Paul Ireland, Chair of Governors, and formerly a parent governor whose own daughter recently moved up to Uckfield College, was voted by the board to become a co-opted governor, creating a second parent governor vacancy and enabling both Richard and Luke to be invited to the board. We are now in the fortunate position of having a full governing board for the first time since January 2022. This is remarkable as there are many schools who have been unable to recruit governors to fill these valuable voluntary positions.
The future is looking very bright for Rocks Park School!
