At Newfold we are fortunate to have a very supportive Governing Body which supports the school community to enrich the lives of all involved.
The Governing Body is responsible for the efficient running of the school and meets at least once per term.
The governors are parents, carers, teachers and non-teaching staff of the school, local authority representatives and people from the local community. Governors hold office for a term of four years. The governors have certain legal duties, powers and responsibilities :-
- They help to decide what is taught in the school
- They interview and select staff
- They help to decide how the school budget is spent
The present governors of the school are:
| Mrs Lisa Bradshaw | Co-opted Governor | |
| Mr Michael Winstanley | LA Appointed Governor | |
| Mrs Alex McMillan | Co-opted Governor | |
| Mrs Leanne Correia | Parent Representative | |
| Mrs Sarah Brady | Co-opted Governor | |
| Mr Damian Oldham | Co-opted Governor | |
| Mrs Janet May | Co-opted Governor | |
| Mrs Elizabeth Baker | Parent Representative | |
| Mrs Lisa Henthorn | Teacher Governor | |
| Mrs Deb Newberry | Co-opted Governor | |

Governing Body Diversity Statement:
The Governors of Newfold Community Primary School believe it is important that the Governing Body reflect our school community. We aim to promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for our children. Diversity data is not published online at present as it may allow individual governors to be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect personal data.
