Our Governors 

Our governors are made up from a cross-section of the community, including parents, staff, church members and local business people. Governors provide an invaluable service to the school, giving up their time for free. Across the country school governors make up the largest volunteer force in the UK.

Governors at East Bierley CE (VC) Primary School work very hard to ensure our school is the best it can be.  They work tirelessly to ensure we meet the needs of our children and meet the statutory duties for primary schools.

If you wish to contact our Governors, this should be done in writing addressed to the Chair of Governors, Mr T Preece and passed to the school office.
