Our Governors

- Curriculum
- Health and safety
- Premises
- Welfare and discipline
- Standards
- Staffing
- Equality and inclusion
- Community
- Admissions
- Extended services
- Special needs
Our role is crucial:
- We fulfil statutory duties to ensure that the school is a safe, healthy and an inclusive environment
- We provide support and challenge to the leadership team of the school on all issues that affect the learning and welfare of our pupils
- We provide a link into the wider Borough of Camden – helping to ensure we are able to contribute to decisions made about schools across the Borough

The Governing Body is drawn from the staff of the school, the Local Authority, parents and the wider community that our school serves.
Parent Governors play a particular role in representing parental concerns to the governors and we are always looking for interested parents who want to contribute to the school in this way.
If you are interested in the work we do, would like to find out more, have any questions – or are interesting in becoming a governor, please contact Tania (Clerk to the Governors) in the office in the first instance on Tania@eleanorpalmer.camden.sch.uk
Contacting the Governors
The Governing Body welcomes the views of parents and we are always happy to discuss issues with parents.
If there is any matter that concerns you, or if you have ideas about how to improve the school, please feel free to contact us.
Email us at governors@eleanorpalmer.camden.sch.uk
You can also write to us (please ensure any correspondence if left in the office in an envelope marked for the attention of the Chair of Governors).
