Meet Our Governors
Bidston Village C.E Primary School
Governors
Welcome to our Governing Body from Mrs Trish Iddon, Chair of Governors
Like all schools, Bidston Village is overseen by a Governing Body. Our Governing Body is is made up of representatives of the church, the school community and the wider community. We work with the Headteacher and it is our job to support and challenge her and her team to ensure that every child's school experience is the best that it can be.
We agree the strategic plans for the school, set the school's budget, set targets for school and we monitor the school's overall performance. Most importantly, we are here for you and for your child.
If you need to contact us at any time you can do so via our school office at schooloffice@bidstonvillage.wirral.sch.uk .
Kind Regards
Mrs Trish Iddon
Chair of Governors
What is a school governor?
School governors are volunteers who help to run the school. Most schools work with a group of school governors - together they’re called the 'governing body'. Meetings are held throughout the academic year and governors are involved in decisions about all aspects of managing the school – such as running buildings and budgets, supporting staff and setting standards of school discipline.
Governors also help to make big decisions about the school’s long-term goals. They support headteachers, but also ask questions and make sure the headteacher is taking the school in the right direction.
Our school is made up of governors to represent the following areas: LA governors (Wirral local authority), foundation governors (nominated by Chester Diocese), co-opted governours, staff governors and parent governors. Governors are linked to an area within the curriculum.
Contact may be made to any of our governors via the clerk Mrs K Langford who can be contacted at the school office on 0151 652 0673.
