We are proud that our team is exceptionally dedicated and passionate about our school. “Leaders and governors have a heartfelt commitment to helping pupils succeed.”(Ofsted October 2019)  This is indicative of the support generally that St Michael’s receives from parents and the wider community in Aylsham. The governors organise into 3 committees in order to manage their work efficiently.  These committees are:

  • Finance and General Purposes, chaired by Dr David Hibberd
  • Curriculum, chaired by Mrs Eleanor Milligan
  • Partnership, chaired by Olivia Corfield

A huge thank you to Katie Partridge who has resigned as a Foundation Governor on 18.10.23. She has been a real asset to the Governing Body and the school.

The Governing Body at St Michael’s School maintains strong links with all associated groups but especially the parents of the School and the local Church(s) and as a result any governor vacancies are quite quickly filled by new enthusiastic governors, passionate about our School.  However we are always keen to welcome new people onto the team and should you be interested in becoming a governor, please contact the Chair of Governors via the School Office (01263 732260).
