Governors
At Leighton Middle School, governors work with staff and parents to support the aims of the school in action. Our governing body comprises men and women from many different backgrounds who are able to contribute their expertise and interests to the continuing development of the school we support. Should you wish to know more of our plans do not hesitate to get in touch with me via the school office.
