Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank You Mr Daniel Leiblich - Chair of Governors

Daniel Leiblich, the school’s Chair of Governors, has stepped down as Chair after 3 years in this crucial role, supporting and guiding the school with wisdom and care. Ofsted were incredibly complimentary about Governors and their work, and Daniel has been instrumental in leading this team and supporting myself and other school leaders.

We thank Daniel for everything he has contributed to the school.
