As a non-maintained school & college we are required by the Department for Education to have a Governing Body. The Governing Body of Wargrave House School & College works closely with the Trustees, Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Management Team to set the future direction for the school & college and decide how the budget should be spent.
Our governors make decisions, collectively, on matters such as performances targets, school & college policies and the school & college improvement plans.
Our Chair of Governors is Viv Beecroft who can be contacted by post at the school address which is Wargrave House School & College, 449 Wargrave Road, Newton Le Willows, Merseyside, WA12 8RS.

Trustees
