Governors
Welcome to Kingshurst Primary School Governors Page
We are pleased to represent Kingshurst Primary School and all its pupils and families.
The Governing Body meets every term during the school year and has three sub-committees to focus on particular areas, which also meet half-termly. These are:
- Finance and Resources
- Scrutiny
- Curriculum
We have 12 members of the Governing Body, which is made up of:
- 1 Local Education Authority Governor – appointed by Solihull MBC
- 2 Staff Governors – elected by the school staff
- 2 Parent Governors – elected by parents
- 6 Co-opted Governors – appointed by the governing body for skills required to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school.
- The Headteacher
If you need to contact our Governors please see below:
The Clerk to the Governing Body is John Bousfield, who can be contacted on 0121 788 6510 or s34jbousfield@kingshurst.solihull.sch.uk

As a school we recognise that a diversity is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:
- target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
- develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
- prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
- address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks
However, we are unable to publish diversity information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.
