In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, school governors are members of a school’s Governing Body. In state schools they have responsibility for raising school standards through their three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and acting as a critical friend. They are the largest volunteer force in the country.

Governor’s Profiles
Mr Christian Wilcox (Chair)
I joined the Bryn Offa governing body in Autumn 2019 as a the parent governor representative. At the time I had two children in Bryn Offa. I am keen to help support the work the school does and ensure that pupils education and wellbeing is at the heart of every decision. My background is in Civil Engineering and am used to leading large teams and programmes of construction work as well as partnership working with local authorities and private businesses.
Reverend Kathy Trimby
I was ‘re elected as Vice Chair in October 2018 and sit on the Board as a Foundation Governor as the local Rector of Llanyblodwel, Llanymynech, Morton and Trefonen parishes, known collectively as the Border Benefice. As well as being committed to the Spiritual and Moral Education of the children and staff in our school, I am also firmly committed to their emotional and mental well-being as well and I strive to ensure that all who teach and learn at Bryn Offa, are happy, healthy and well rounded, well adjusted individuals both inside and as far as possible outside the school as well. My greatest wish is that the children and staff are the very best of themselves that they can be in all things and with all people.

Register of Business Interests
From 1 September 2015, Governing Bodies are under a duty to publish their register of interests on their website. The register should set out the relevant business interests of Governors and details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register should also set out any relationships between Governors and members of the school staff including spouses, partners and relatives. ‘None’ should be recorded on the entry on the register by Governors who have no interests to register.
