Governors

As Governors we are responsible for the general direction of everything that goes on in the school, including the maintenance of buildings, appointing staff, regulating the funding supplied by the County Council and, most importantly, ensuring that the curriculum matches both the needs of the children and legal requirements. We are also responsible - with our sponsor Parish - for raising 10% of the cost of maintaining and enlarging the school premises.

We are elected and appointed in such a way as to reflect those sections of the community which have an interest in the school. The Bishop of Clifton appoints Foundation Governors, usually in consultation with the Parish Priest.  As a Catholic school, Foundation Governors make up the majority of the Governing Body.   Parents and Teachers elect Governors to represent their respective groups and one Governor is appointed by the local Council. The Headteacher may choose to be a Governor, and all other Governors serve a four-year term.
