Governance

Governing Body

Bedfont Primary School is a local authority maintained school in Hounslow borough. The school’s governing body is generally responsible for the conduct of the school with a view to promoting high standards of education. They act together rather than as individuals. Each Governor’s term of office is four years.

The full governing body usually meets four times a year. Groups of Governors form committees to meet and discuss such topics as the curriculum, personnel matters, finance, school improvement, Health and Safety and site and buildings.
