Aintree Davenhill Governing Board
The governors of Aintree Davenhill Primary School believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people. The governors have collected and discussed diversity data to identify recruitment and training needs, and to ensure there is a diverse range of perspectives to support robust decision making. Due to our relatively small governing body we do not publish this diversity data online, as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
