Governor Information
Welcome to the Governor area!
I am Stacey Parsons and I am the Chair of Governors.
Following a successful consultation process the governing bodies for Manor Infant School and Manor Junior School have become one - formally called a "Federation". As a group we now have responsibility for both schools.
We are now formerly known as "The Federation of Manor Infant and Manor Junior Schools", but will be more commonly referenced as "Manor Schools".
We are a group of volunteers who have certain legal responsibilities for the strategic development of the school. We bring our skills and experiences to support the running of the school. Fundamentally our aim is to support and challenge the school to ensure that every child at the school becomes the "The Best they Can Be" by achieving their full potential.
You can contact us via the school office or directly:
