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.

My 12 years of experience as a school governor has given me an additional point of view and first-hand experience on how important it is that we, as governors, make the right decisions for our schools.
