Our Governance

The John Warner School is part of Danes Educational Trust. The Danes Educational Trust Board has responsibility for the operation of the Trust, but delegates some of the responsibilities to a local level. 

Further information about the Danes Educational Trust governance structure is available on the Trust website. 

The John Warner School is on a continuous improvement path and to support this, Danes Educational Trust has decided that the school would be better supported by an Interim Action Board (IAB), instead of a local governing body (school board).

The Interim Action Board is a group of education professionals, led by Louise Soden (retired Ofsted HMI). The IAB will be in place for approximately one year. Once the IAB has completed its work and the school is significantly improved, a School Board will be appointed, including two elected parent governors and one elected staff governor. 

 To contact the members of the IAB, please email Susan Poole (Clerk) on spoole@danesedtrust.org.uk.
