As an academy that is part of Grove Learning Trust, Haydonleigh Primary School has a governing body made up of staff, parents and people from the community which is overseen by the trust’s members and directors.  The governing body is called an academy committee at Haydonleigh Primary School.

Academy Committee governors are expected to champion and hold the school leadership team to account for its performance through effective support and challenge. They operate as one body, as a committee of the Board of Trustees, which is the trust's legal governing body. Each Academy Committee is accountable to the Board of Trustees through the Board's committees - Resources, Audit and Risk (RAR) and Standards & Performance (S&P). Governors are appointed by the Academy Committee after appropriate election or recruitment processes.

The governing body is drawn from members of staff, parents and co-opted members of the community. The Chair of Governors is Kate Wichurst. Governors can be contacted via the school office on 01793 700443, Haydonleigh Primary School, Haydon Court Drive, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN251JP.
