Our Governors
The school’s Governing Body brings a diverse range of perspective, skills and experience together to support the school; ensuring that all children receive a high standard of education and that Twin Oaks Primary School consistently adds value to the local community.
The Governing Body consists of local volunteers who work alongside the Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and Lewisham Council to strategically develop the school, hold staff to account and to maximise the outcomes for each and every pupil.
