Governing Body
The Governing Body is made up of representatives of the staff, parents and the Catholic community, and also the LA. They are all volunteers who give up their free time to make the sure the school is managed effectively and to the benefit of the children. The governors have various legal responsibilities and duties, the school budget and health and safety. They help to set and monitor the school philosophy and policies. Governors do not make detailed day to day decisions about the running of the school. This is the role of the Headteacher supported by the staff.
