Welcome from Carol Foyle

Dear all,

The Connected Futures Partnership includes the following schools and settings:

• Dorothy Gardner Nursery School
• Mary Paterson Nursery School
• Tachbrook Nursery School
• Essendine Primary School
• Hallfield Primary School
• Oxford Gardens Primary School
• Queen’s Park Primary School
• Queen’s Park Family Hub
• Bayswater Children’s Centre

The Connected Futures Partnership Governing Board was formed in January 2026 and is made up of a team of volunteers both from within and outside the school community. The governing board focuses on the long-term strategic development and improvement of the schools,  children’s centre and family hub. This includes promoting the effective management of the setting, policy making, staff appointments and ensuring the budgets are planned well and spent wisely.

The full governing board meets at least seven times a year. We have a subcommittee which also meets three times a year to discuss issues in more depth. 

The Board is responsible for ensuring the school budget is spent wisely, the maintenance of the premises, health and safety issues and the well-being of the staff.

The clerk to governors is Deepti Bal.  All correspondence to governors should be addressed to:
