Governors

Meet the chair of governors

Jo Klaces

"It has been one of the great pleasures and privileges of my later life to serve on Queensbridge’s Governing Body for the last ten years, the last two as Chair.

Queensbridge is a dynamic and responsive place, alert to the needs of all its students who come from so many different backgrounds and bring their varied experiences, enriching the school on a daily basis. But, in all this liveliness and energy the school brings stability and continuity.

Governors are committed to supporting the provision of  a thriving and cohesive learning community which serves the learning needs of pupils and staff, helping and encouraging each and every individual to reach their aspirations and potential. Queensbridge is both safety net and trampoline, catching and nurturing the vulnerable, launching everyone into what we hope is their positive future with the skills to navigate this complex world.  

As Governors we work with the school to uphold the core values of kindness, respect for each other and achievement. We meet as a full governing body each term to celebrate, question and to ensure that the strategic vision for the school is being upheld. Each governor also explores different aspects of school life as a link governor attached to a particular department or area, according to experience or inclination.

It is a serious role, as it should be – we are dealing with the future of young people - but it is also exciting, thought provoking, companionable and very supportive."
