Welcome to the Governance section.
As the Chair of Governors, it gives me great pleasure in welcoming you to Corsham Regis Primary Academy. I lead a highly committed and active governing body who place inclusivity, care and wellbeing of pupils and staff at the heart of everything we do.
Our Vision is aligned with The Corsham School Academy Group. Corsham Regis will:
The governing body comprises people from many different backgrounds, and it is our responsibility to provide strategic direction as well challenge and support the Senior Leadership Team.

All schools are measured on the amount of academic, social, and emotional progress pupils make and it is clear that the progress of the children in any school is heavily influenced by the support they receive at home as well as at school. Parents and carers are very much part of our school community, and we encourage you to get as involved as possible. Please reach out to the school if you would like to get more involved, either as a governor, supporting PTA events or any other capacity you can. All governors and trustees are recognisable by our black Governor lanyards, so next time you see one of us, have a chat.
