Message from the Chair of the Governing Body
On behalf of the Governing Body, I would like to wish you a warm welcome to Sutton C of E (VC) Primary school. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the Chair of the governing body at Sutton C.E. (VC) Primary School. Having a background in child development and education and working with the staff at Sutton since 2021, I care deeply about helping the school continue to STRIVE for success.
It is the Governing Body’s job to oversee the strategic direction of the school, and to implement the vision for the school and its students. We meet regularly with Mrs Garbutt and her team to endeavour to ensure the school flourishes. The full Governing Board meets twice a term, and we have additional committees to consider issues in more depth. We ask questions and challenge to make sure that Sutton continues to embed the safe and nurturing culture of respect and excellence. As Governors, we define and uphold the ethos of the school, promoting the school’s Christian values and encouraging a caring, friendly and safe environment in which the children can learn. We welcome children of all faiths and backgrounds, and the school works with parents and the Church to create a strong and thriving community.
The Governing Body is made up of representatives from our parents, staff and local area. We are volunteers that give our time and skills freely to make sure that Sutton children receive the best education.
We value your support and look forward to working with you while your child is at Sutton. Please use this website to find out all about our school, and remember that your child's class teachers and the leadership team will always be your first port of call and are happy to address any queries and concerns, should you have any. However, if there is anything else you need to know, don't hesitate to contact me at Chair@sutton.cambs.sch.uk.
