    • Meet the Governors

    Governor's Welcome

    I would like to welcome you and your family to our school.  Bisham C of E Academy is a special place where we nurture our whole pupil community, from their first experience of education, equipping them to become lifelong learners.  Every child is unique and deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential by developing their talents.  Our staff work in partnership with you, their parents, to encourage and support every child to achieve this.

    As Chair of governors, local resident and parent, I have been involved with Bisham School for over 20 years; it has always been a hidden gem of a school.  Our Ofsted rating of Good endorses the education we offer; in addition, new facilities, a delightful green setting and a strong Christian ethos, provide a safe space for your child to flourish and develop the confidence, core values and creativity which are essential skills for later life.
