Abbey Hulton Primary School
Governors
Welcome to the Governors' Section
Our Governors work extremely hard to ensure that Abbey Hulton Primary continues to be a fantastic school. Their remit is as follows:
- Ensure clarity of vision, those and strategic direction;
- Hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
Further information about our governors can be found in this section.
