Governors' Action Plan

2025 - 2026 Governors' Impact Statement

Governor Roles, Interests and Attendance 2025 - 26

Following an invitation to be the trail primary school for Bolton LA's revised External Review of Governance, we were proud to receive an overall evaluation that the Governing Board at The Gates is ‘Strong’. That it demonstrates ‘a high level of challenge and support. Governors care deeply for both the school and the community it serves. Governors fulfil their statutory duties and any comments within this review are aimed to simply improve already strong practice'.
