Governance at Shipton Bellinger Primary School
A Welcome Message from the Chair of Governors
On behalf of the Governing Body, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all parents, carers and children of Shipton Bellinger Primary School.
We are incredibly proud of our school community and the nurturing, inclusive environment that our staff create every day. Our school values - Safe, Together, Achieve and Respect (STAR) - sit at the heart of everything we do. They guide the way we learn, the way we treat one another and the way we celebrate every child’s achievements, both big and small.
As governors, our role is to support and challenge the school so that every child is given the very best opportunity to thrive. We are committed to ensuring that Shipton Bellinger remains a place where children feel safe, inspired and valued; where curiosity is encouraged; and where each child develops a sense of confidence, independence and belonging.
We work closely with the Headteacher and staff to ensure that the school continues to offer high‑quality teaching, a broad and engaging curriculum, and a caring ethos that supports children’s wellbeing as well as their academic progress. We believe that strong relationships with families are central to a successful school, and we look forward to working with you in partnership to support your child’s journey.
Whether you are new to our school or a long‑standing member of our community, thank you for being part of Shipton Bellinger Primary School. We are delighted to welcome you, and we hope your child’s time with us is filled with happiness, growth and memorable experiences.
Warmest regards,
Mrs C Ralph
Chair of Governors
