We currently have some governor vacancies. We have had a number of newly appointed governors who are helping us move our school forward. Would you like to join them?
If you are interested in becoming a governor and helping our school move to ‘Outstanding’ please email headteacher@jtpschool.org
I look forward to hearing from you.

A message from the Governors.
Joseph Turner is a great place to be. We pride ourselves on having a very calm and purposeful learning environment. We are very focused on our school improvement with specific developments being thoroughly implemented and embedded.
We were delighted that OFSTED 2018 acknowledged all of our improvements and it was a true reflection of where we were as we were judged to be 'Good' again. The staff and governors have used the Ofsted report as a benchmark from which to work. Our ultimate aim is to improve our ‘good’ to ‘outstanding’.
The quality of teaching and learning to further improve progress and standards is central to our further development. The staff team is very carefully appointed to strengthen and enhance the current expertise and experiences. Only the best will do!
The children are a credit to their families and us and we are extremely proud of them for their individual contributions to the life of the school.

Mrs J Poxon (resigned 31st August 2021)
