Governor Role

Governors have a strategic role in the development of the school and we are delighted to be able to reap the benefits of such commitment from this group.

Governors have particular responsibilities. For example, one Governor takes responsibility for Inclusion, another for Assessment and one for Mathematics. They visit the school, keeping up to date with developments in these areas.

The governing board is made up of a combination of appointed, elected and co-opted governors which represent the various groups that have a vested interest in the success of the school, i.e. parents, LA, staff and the wider community.


​Parliament has given school governing boards a range of duties and the power to carry them out. Broadly these are:

  • helping to establish the aims and policies of the school, and how standards of education can be improved;
  • helping to draw up the School Improvement Plan;
  • helping to decide how to spend the school budget;
  • making sure that the National Curriculum and Religious Education are taught;
  • acting as a link between the local community and the school

Welcome from the Chair of Governors

A warm welcome to Tickford Park Primary School. We are really proud of our school and how we serve our community and beyond. We welcome you to come and visit to see just what Tickford Park can offer your child.


Throughout your child's time with us, TPPS's approach to not just delivering a well-planned and rounded curriculum, but also focussing on what we call the 'whole child', sees all of our children exposed to the many academic and non-academic activities that will prepare them, not just for the next stage of their educational journey, but for life.


Success comes on many levels, and the focus on the whole child means each of the children here at TPPS leave having achieved being the best they can be. 


The supportive, caring and hugely talented staff here at TPPS create an atmosphere that supports all children. An atmosphere that ensures the children are safe, and that the children enjoy their learning. All of this ensures your child can adopt a life-long love of learning. 


Key to our approach is the support of our community. This comes in many forms, not least our parents and carers; our PTA (the 'Friends of Tickford Park'); many local businesses; and soon to be our Academy Trust partner, the Grand Union Partnership. 


Together we deliver. 


Kind regards 

Stuart McDonald

Chair of Governors
