Letter from the Chair of Governors

Welcome to Shrewton Primary School. 

We hope this website gives you a feeling for our school, and our shared vision for a place where all children grow to believe in themselves and their abilities  – as they build the skills, knowledge, and experiences they will need on their life journeys.

The children at Shrewton have a happy and caring environment in which to learn, build friendships and be adventurous. We aim to help our children to be confident, sensitive to others, interested in the world around them, and prepared for all the opportunities and challenges life has to offer.

Our school is a community driven by love. This extends through the school’s leadership, staff, pupils, parents, the Church and the broader community. By coming together we can all help children build the best possible foundations for their futures.

The school’s governors (or Academy Standards and Ethos Committee) are a team of volunteers from different walks of life. We bring a range of skills and experiences to help support and challenge the school as part of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust (DSAT) governance structure. By working closely with DSAT and the staff team, we help to provide the strategic direction for the school, to make sure the schools’ performance is evaluated and continuously improves, and to ensure the school’s legal obligations are met and that the school keeps abreast with new initiatives. At the same time we help to keep the school true to its vision, with the lives and learning of our children at its heart.

If you would like to hear more about our school or the work of the school’s governors please visit the school or contact me via the school office.

With thanks and best wishes,

Fiona Whitworth
