The school has 8 full or part-time staff. Aside from the Headteacher and permanent teaching staff we are supported by a part-time music and drama teacher, three part-time nursery/teaching assistants and two part-time administrative assistants.

 

This dedicated team are supported by parents and the local community who come in to school to listen to the children reading and organise the library.

An Executive Committee of Trustees, drawn from all walks of the local community, meets regularly, to provide overall steering and direction for the operations and strategy of the school, and to oversee the working groups of volunteers who perform the critical functions necessary to operate a school. The Trustees also act as the Board of Governors. The Annual Peaslake School Review Meeting provides an opportunity to hear about the school's progress, meet the Trustees and help shape the role we play in the community.

• Mark Foster* - Chairman

• David Newman - Treasurer

• Andrew Clayton* - Legal Counsel 

• Moira Jones - Financial Controller

• Tom Southee - SEN, Safeguarding and Curriculum Responsibility

• James Cobb* - Health, Safety and Facilities

Being a parent at Peaslake school brings with it special obligations in line with the uniqueness of our school. Parents play an active role in certain school duties such as lunch and gardening duty and, in particular, form the backbone of our social fundraising initiatives in the village.

 

The Parents Forum is an active body which meets twice a term to discuss key ideas and plans with regard to the school and to share information with the Trustees.
