Academy Governing Body

Welcome to our Governors’ section. 

Please find below details of how our Governing Body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

Warren Dell Primary School and Oxhey Wood Primary School have one Academy Governing Body across both schools under the Agora Learning Partnership.

The trust and school leaders share a passion to be highly inclusive. They are proactive in ensuring the school is resourced and has sufficient expertise. Staff have opportunities to work across the trust and with each other, sharing excellent practice. This is not at the expense of workload or well-being. Strong systems for professional development translate into enthusiasm and expertise in class. Knowledgeable governors add a balance of challenge and support. They carry out their duties with great care.

The Governing Body is the school’s accountable body and is responsible for the conduct of the school and for promoting high standards. It sets the strategic direction of the school. It is not responsible for the day to day management of Oxhey Wood or Warren Dell Primary School.

A Governor commits to attend meetings twice per term (some during the evening) and to visit the school during the school day at least once a term. Governors also have link roles in school as detailed on the Governor roles and responsibilities link below. References are requested for all Governors and they also complete a DBS check.

In line with Agora Learning Partnership our Academy Governing Body consists of:

Headteacher: Lesley Brennan

2 Staff governors: Micaela Jennings and Fatemah Ravji

2 Parent Governor:  Pilar Arranz, Dave Sarney

1 Co-opted Governors: Vacancy

4 Trustee Appointed Governors: Kim Claridge-Taylor, Elizabeth Willetts, Kate Douglas-Law, Kathryn Williams.
