Governors

Our Governors are all volunteers and give up their skills, experience and time for free in order to help and support our school.

If you would like to see the Full Governing Body meeting minutes, please make a request in writing to the headteacher. This can be sent by email to: admin@hipswell.n-yorks.sch.uk
