GOVERNORS
Bishop Bridgeman governors ensure there is clarity of the school vision, ethos and strategic direction. They are responsible for overseeing strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable our school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent educational to children.
​
As part of The Archbishop Temple Trust , our trustees and members also have an important role to play in the strategic direction of our school. For more information about our trustees and members please click on the link below.
