The School’s Governing Board is an extremely committed body of up to sixteen people, made up from various sections of the school community. Governors are responsible for all the statutory aspects of school such as agreeing and monitoring the implementation of the school development plan. They support and promote the Christian ethos of the school. Additionally, the Governors are responsible for agreeing the school’s budget plan, senior appointments and, Health and Safety, and make decisions on building improvements and capital projects.

As this is a voluntary aided primary school, the Governing Board contributes 10% of the funds required for all capital works. Governors are involved in the everyday life of the school, often visiting to see the children and learn more about our wonderful provision.

We have also appointed Link Governors who take an interest in specific issues across the school.  Link Governors make regular visits to the school and provide reports on those visits to the Governing Board.

Our Chair of Governors, Bettina Carlyon, can be contacted by email at: bcarlyon.209@lgflmail.org or by post through the school: St Bartholomew's Primary School, The Peak, Sydenham, SE26 4LJ.
