Board of Governors
Hello! We are another part of the St Mary Magdalene Family – the Governing Board.
We meet regularly to discuss the running of the school and try to put things in place to make our school EVEN better. You can see us on Governors’ Day or at many other school events. If you see us, please say hello!
