The Governors at Bruce Grove Primary School

At Bruce Grove we have 2 sub committees: Curriculum & Standards and Resources which includes Finance, Premises and Personnel. These committees feed back into the full GB meeting. We meet regularly throughout the year.  Part One of the Meetings is open to the public and parents and carers are particularly welcome.  Please contact the chair if you wish to attend.  The Chair can be contacted through the school office.
