The governors are volunteers from all walks of life who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education by supporting the school. The governors work together as a body to ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction and that the school delivers a good quality education by holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school. They ensure and oversee the financial procedures of the school, making sure money is well spent.

At St Margaret’s CEVAP School the governing body is made up of representatives from St Margaret’s Church, the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, the Local Authority, the parent body and the staff body. The majority of the governors are foundation governors. They must also ensure that the school is led and managed in accordance with its Trust Deed and its ethos statement. PCC elected Governors ensure there is a link between the school and St Margaret's Church.
