Message from the Chair of Governors

Welcome to Grafton Primary School

As Chair of Governors and a parent of a pupil of Grafton Primary, I am delighted to welcome you to the Grafton Primary School website.  We are recognised by Ofsted as an Outstanding school and have been awarded the Gold Rights Respecting School by UNICEF which mean we put the Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of our school’s daily practice. We have high expectations and truly aim to develop children to their full potential academically, socially and emotionally.

The role of the Board of Governors is to work closely with the Headteacher and staff to provide the very best education that we can for the children of our school. We are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the school, for ensuring that the budget is managed prudently and for supporting our staff. We ensure that all the children feel safe and that their needs are met to promote their all round development.   

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum and aim for enjoyment in learning. The staff are experienced and dedicated and work in partnership with parents and children to create a nurturing and safe learning environment.

Governors can be contacted through the school office any time and we have a dedicated Governors Suggestion Box for parents to communicate directly with us.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Dr Roza Shirazi

Chair of Governors
