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 Hallfield and our partner schools, nurseries and children centre and 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 sub committee which also meet 3 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:
