The School Governors

Governors have an interest in helping to ensure that children in the school receive the best possible education and the school governing body is a key partner in school leadership. The governors are a team made up of various representatives - parents, staff and the local community and who are responsible for:

 

• Ensuring the School provides good quality education

• The School’s budget and management of resources

• Making sure the School provides for the individual needs of each child.

Headteacher Governor

Local Authority Governor

Mrs S Saje

Chair

I have worked with Primary aged children for 40 years, and love their enthusiasm and interest in everything. As a Governor at Nathaniel Newton I can monitor the pupils collective progress and celebrate their achievements, whilst promoting the policies and conditions in school to give every child an excellent education.

My three children are grown up now, and making their own way in the world, so my time – Covid-19 permitting –  is spent visiting them, spending days out around the UK with friends, playing with my Grandson, working in the garden, walking the local countryside and working towards living in a more minimalist home!

 

Co-opted Governors

Mr P Riley

Hi, having been a governor at Nathaniel Newton previously I 'retired' when I no longer had children at the school but for some strange reason they recently asked if I wanted to return.

In the meantime 2 of my children are now at university and 2 are at the high school, they all went to this school and it provided them with a fantastic start to their education. It's a pleasure to be part of such a excellent school that has a great educational ethos and I hope that I can add to its growth in some small way again.

Mr P James

I am a 64 year old qualified accountant and spent over 30 years in financial and general management roles in industry.

I then worked for ten years as School Business Manager for 3 Warwickshire Primary Schools including Nathaniel Newton until my retirement in 2019.

I am married to an ex Primary School Head teacher and have two grown up sons and two grandsons for whose school I am also a governor.
