Governors

On behalf of the Governing Body we would like to welcome you and your child to Mulgrave Primary School. Our aim is to ensure that all children have a lifelong love of learning and that we create a supportive caring environment to do this.

The Head Teacher and staff are a strong, committed team who work together in collaboration with you to get the best results for all children.

We are an active Governing Body who are involved and welcomed in the school. At times you will see us out and about, especially at events or when we visit to monitor the different aspects of school life. We welcome your ideas on how we can improve what we do and what you love about Mulgrave school.

As a school, we are delighted to have achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark – Outreach award. The Primary Science Quality Mark Outreach (PSQM-O) was established to enable primary schools to evaluate, strengthen and celebrate their science provision. Mulgrave has demonstrated that excellent teaching practice and leadership in science is visible, sustained and evolving across the whole school, and that this excellent practice has had a clear impact on the pupils and partners beyond the school.

Both staff and pupils are extremely proud of this achievement and have immensely enjoyed going through the process of obtaining recognition for our work in science.

We also achieved a very positive Ofsted report. We thank our staff teams for their hard work in gaining and maintaining these excellent standards.

Chair of Governors- Chris Tuffey

I am honoured to be Chair of Governors at Mulgrave School, having joined as a co-opted Governor in early 2022. As a school governor since 2008, my motivation stems from a deep belief in the transformative power of education and its pivotal role in shaping a safe, happy, and successful future for our children.

Mulgrave stands out to me as an energetic school that has created a safe and stimulating environment, serving as a launchpad for children to realise their full potential. The school fosters a lifelong love of learning, providing students with the tools they need to navigate the world ahead successfully.

With nearly 40 years in financial services, including international experience, I believe I bring a wealth of insights to the governing board. I strongly advocate for the importance of numeracy and confidence with numbers, recognising their role in social and economic mobility. I have witnessed firsthand the value that a diverse and inclusive culture brings, and I am passionate about fostering such an environment at Mulgrave.

Beyond academics, I have a keen interest in sports, health, and overall wellness, understanding the positive impact of physical activity on the mind. I believe in nurturing not only academic excellence but also the holistic well-being of our students.

It is a privilege to contribute to a school that is known for its nurturing, creative, and successful approach to education. I am excited about the opportunity to be part of Mulgrave's journey in providing an enriching educational experience for your children.
