Governors

The aim of the Governing Body at our school is to work with the staff in helping the children achieve their full potential in a happy, caring environment.

We do this in four main ways:

  • Monitoring the performance and progress of our children;
  • Working with the staff to help them teach and care for our children;
  • Deciding on how the resources of the school are best used;
  • Planning ahead so that the performance of our children and our school continues to improve.

To deliver this effectively the Governor team members are representative of all the key groups involved in our school – the Parents, the Staff, the Local Authority and the Church (known as Foundation governors). Some are appointed and some are elected.

We meet twice a term termly as a group, and these meetings include Catholic Life, Finance and Staffing, Safeguarding and the Curriculum. In addition, each governor is allocated a specialist subject that we take particular interest in (eg. Religious Education, Numeracy, Literacy, Art, ICT, etc.)

We are always keen to hear your views, so please do feel free to contact any of us directly. We look forward to a continued successful partnership with you.
