The Maple Primary School Board of Governors is made up of representatives of the Local Authority, parents, teachers and members of the local business community. The Governors are responsible for the general direction of the school. They take decisions concerning staffing, curriculum and finance and premises.
The Governors meet as a whole group at least once each term to discuss the needs and achievements of the school.

Parent governors are often in the playground at school pick-up/drop-off times.
