We have great pleasure in welcoming Chris Wilton to the Holyport College Governing Body as the new Parent Governor following the recent election.
Thank you to those who put their name forward as a candidate and to all those of you who voted. Chris will be replacing Lucy Pickering, whose term of office as Parent Governor has now come to an end.
