Welcome to our website and the Governors’ page
Thank you for showing an interest in our school and for taking the time to look through our website.
We have a small and committed Governing Body, made up of a mixture of staff, parents (past and present) and members of the local community. As a Governing Body, we are very proud of the learning opportunities that the team provide to all of our pupils. This is enhanced by the unique atmosphere the historic building and surrounding conservation area brings to our school environment.
As a parent, both of my children are benefiting from the support and encouragement provided by the team at Vallis and I am keen to give back to the school in my role as a governor.
Although being a Governor can be seen as being a bit daunting, it is hugely rewarding. If you would like to find out more about the role, have a look at the Becoming a Governor tab, or please get in touch via the School Office to talk in more detail.

Governors’ Diversity Statement
As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:
- target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
- develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
- prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
- address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks
However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.”
