Welcome to you all from the Governors at Penketh High School. Listed below are the governors and who appointed or elected them. Minutes of the governors meetings are in the school reception area for anyone wishing to read them. Governors work within the framework provided by the Law on Governance and we follow those rules carefully.

If you wish to contact any of the governors they can be contacted by mail or messages left at the school. This should not be the first point of contact and if you have concerns about your child please go through the following process and it is only when these have been exhausted that governors get involved. The normal route is form tutor, head of house, deputy, head teacher then governors. You will find that queries are answered more effectively using this route. You can contact me John Holmes as the Chair of Governors by e-mail at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . This e-mail address is only accessible by me so it does not go through anyone in the school.

As a governing body we decided some years ago to employ a clerk separately from the school. The clerk is Mrs Irene Coates and she work for the governors so is very much independent of the school. You can contact her by writing to the school or leaving a message, she does not work in the school full time.
