Governors
Our Local Governance committee consists of a group of enthusiastic and committed people who volunteer to work in partnership with the school staff to shape the future of the school and to decide the key issues that will help staff to raise standards.
We are particularly fortunate that we have a wide cross-section of skills and experience amongst our governors with representation from parents, staff and members of the community.
Our school is part of Wessex Multi Academy Trust; a single entity established to undertake a strategic collaboration to improve and maintain high educational standards across a number of schools. Our responsibilities as Local Governors are delegated to us by the Board of Trustees for the MAT and these are contained in the Scheme of Delegation.

Welcome from Anna Jackson,
Chair of Governors
The Governors of Manor Park First School would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you viewing our website. Our school mission – Love for God, Love for each other and Love for learning is the basis for everything that is done in school and is rooted in the Bible verse from 1 Corinthians 13:7-8a (TPT) ‘Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving.’ We believe that school should, first and foremost, be a happy place where children develop a love of learning and their sense of self. We believe that education and the spiritual and moral development of our children is a partnership between home and school and we hope all parents and carers will become fully involved in their child’s development.
We are a strong, supportive School Governance Committee working in partnership with Mrs. Sterck and the staff. We have six full School Governance Committee meetings per year to discuss key strategic issues and to ensure that we meet our statutory obligations. All minutes of the School Governance Committee meetings are available for parents on request from the school office. We are well supported in our role within the Wessex Multi-academy Trust and enjoy being a part of the Wessex family of schools.
As Governors, we also attend school events as well as visiting during the school day to see the school development plan being implemented. Governors are linked to the School Development Plan key priorities and this ensures we have a clear focus and strategic oversight. It truly is a privilege to be able to come into school and see all the fantastic work being done by the staff and pupils.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated and hardworking staff, who are committed to providing pupils of all abilities with a rich, creative and stimulating learning experience underpinned with our Christian ethos, thus enabling the children to use every opportunity to reach their full potential. Our thanks also extend to our parents and carers, the local parish and the local community for the support and encouragement they give the children and the school.
Please take the time to browse our school website, where you will find more information about our culturally diverse, vibrant, inclusive and caring school which we, as governors, are very proud to be a part of.
Should you wish to contact me, or a member of the governing body, please email our school office and mark your email FAO the Chair of Governors.
Best wishes,
Anna Jackson
Chair of Governors
