Meet Our Board of Governors
At Gorran Primary School, we are proud to be supported by a dedicated and passionate Board of Governors who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help shape the future of our school. Their commitment to our shared vision—that every child feels safe, happy, and empowered to achieve their full potential—is at the heart of everything they do.
Operating under the Scheme of Management of the Education Authority for Northern Ireland, our Governors are elected every four years. The current term runs until 2028.
The Board plays a vital role in the strategic leadership and effective management of the school. Their responsibilities include:
- Overseeing the curriculum
- Appointing staff
- Managing admissions
- Supporting pupil welfare and discipline
- Overseeing school finances and buildings
Our Governors work closely with the Principal and staff to ensure that Gorran PS continues to be a place where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Their support helps us maintain high standards while nurturing the warm, family atmosphere that makes our school so special.
