No governor holds any other position in other schools nor has any relationship with anyone connected with Welbeck Primary.

Each member of our governing body represents a different part of our school community, bringing a vast array of skills and experience from the public and private sectors. Our members are comprised of young and experienced teachers and school business managers, highly experienced headteachers, university lecturers, and engineers and solicitors in biotech industries. As a governing body, our governors work collaboratively to monitor, support and challenge all staff to ensure outstanding educational outcomes are achieved at Welbeck.
