Meet Our Governors

• Mrs Sarah Meredith

  I have been a member of the governing body since 2005, initially as a staff governor and now in an ex-officio role.
  
  During my time at the school, I have seen many positive changes, including the development of a new sports hall in 2006 and the growth from five to seven classes when the school expanded in 2011.
  
  We value our close links with our parish church, St Michael and All Angels, where pupils attend end-of-term services and other events throughout the year.
  
  I enjoy singing and co-lead Bramcote Voice, our school choir. The choir has taken part in the Young Voices concerts in Sheffield for a number of years. Outside school, I am also a member of a local Rock and Soul Choir, performing in concerts that raise money for local charities.
