Welcome from the Chair of Governors

‘Governors provide strong challenge and support to you and other leaders. They visit the school regularly and analyse pupils’ progress thoroughly. They have an accurate understanding of the school’s strengths and areas where improvement is needed…’

 (Ofsted, 2019)

Welcome to Larkmead School.

We are a very special community, with wonderful opportunities and special facilities. Staff are prepared to go that extra mile to get to know the students in their care and work with parents to encourage their children to achieve their best in all that they do. The rich curriculum not only enables those seeking academic or vocational qualifications, but it ensures that students gain the confidence and develop the skills to help them fulfil their dreams and ambitions.

Governors are volunteers and our main role is to work with the school to ensure that every student achieves to the best of their potential and is fully prepared for the next stage of their life. We are always keen to hear from anyone who is interested in becoming a governor.
