Governors

The Governing Body has a general responsibility to see that the school, as a Roman Catholic Primary School, is being effectively managed to meet the needs of the pupils, the proper expectations of our Catholic parents and the interests of the wider community. They have particular responsibilities in relation to the curriculum, the appointment and dismissal of staff, admissions to school, and discipline within the school building.

An important function of the Governors is to consider the needs of the school in terms of staff, buildings and resources, and to advise the Local Authority if they believe that these needs are not being met. An equally important function is to ensure that the resources made available to the school are being used effectively.

The governers meet at least once a term to discuss a report from the headteacher as well as other school business. The minutes of these meetings are abailable in school for parent’s inspection. The subcommittees also meet usually once a term to discuss specific areas of school life e.g. Curriculum, Inclusion and Excess, Health and Safety, Premises and Finance, School Effectiveness.

In addition the Governors produce their own report on the school towards the end of the school year. This is distributed to parents and a meeting is held in school, during the autumn term, at which parents are invited to discuss this report with Governors.
