Governors
Our governing body exists to oversee the running of the school. Governors are appointed from a variety of backgrounds to ensure a wide range of skills and expertise that will benefit the school.
If you wish to contact the Chair of Governors you can either contact him via post or hand delivery to the School Office, make an appointment through the School Office or alternatively contact him via email: corya@hornbeam.kent.sch.uk

Jo Malpass - Co-opted Governor I was co-opted onto the school governing body in November 2013, to assist with the finance governance.

Emma Jones - Staff Governor I have been a teacher at Hornbeam for many years and a part of the Senior Leadership Team for the last few years, with responsibility for helping oversee Literacy and Numeracy as part of the standards team. An important part of my role on the governing body is to represent the teaching and non-teaching staff, and to help the other governors to understand the day-to-day workings of school life in all its variety.
