Our Governing Board
Introduction & Welcome
The Governing Board works alongside the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to ensure that Whitehall Infant School provides a good quality education for our pupils. For more information about the role of the Governing Body, click here.
There are a variety of roles within The Governing Board, including Parent governors, Co-opted Governors and Staff Governors. Each member of The Governing Board brings a range of skills to the role.
All governors can be contacted through Whitehall Infant School – please put your question or query in writing and give in to the school office in a sealed envelope marked ‘private & confidential’ and addressed to the Governor concerned. The school will ensure this is promptly passed on.

Governor Profile - Mr Peter James
I have lived in and around Uxbridge since the 1970’s and have been involved with Whitehall Infant school in different guises since the 1980’s when my children attended the school. Following a career as an auditor for multi-national companies I am now retired and still live locally.
I am also a Governor at Whitehall Junior School.
