Chair of Governors Welcome

As the chair of governors and on behalf of the board of governors, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to the governor's section of Cheadle Primary School website.

I welcome this opportunity to give you a brief insight to the work our governing board undertakes to ensure that your child(ren) receive an education unique to their needs and to the highest of standards. As governors, we are proud of our school community and we aim to work alongside the whole school community of staff, pupils, and parents to provide a happy and caring environment for all, where everyone feels safe and valued.

Cheadle Primary School challenges, supports, and inspires every individual to achieve to the very best of their ability; a real sense of belonging is encouraged, responsibility is shared, and everyone is valued.

In this section you can find out who we are, what we do, how we do this and why we do this. As a governing body we are focused and committed to your child(ren) to ensure that they achieve to their full potential, not only academically but also physically, emotionally, and socially. This is fundamentally one of the main reasons we became governors.
