Meet the Governors
Welcome to the Governors' page
What do Governors do?
The Full Governing Body at Woodlands meets once a term and oversees the strategic development of the school alongside the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team. The governors visit the school regularly as part of their monitoring role. We make decisions together on matters such as performance, targets, school policies and school development plan. We ask searching questions and act as a critical friend to the school.
The Chair of Governors is Mrs Karen Thomas who can be contacted via the School or at clerk@woodlands.surrey.sch.uk
The Full Governors’ meetings are closed, but anyone can apply to the Chair of Governors to attend as an observer.
