Catholic schools and colleges are at the heart of the Church’s mission and all members of their Governing Bodies share in that mission.  Our Governing Body is made up of foundation governors, parent governors and staff governors.  Foundation Governors take on the additional and very special responsibility of safeguarding the Catholic nature of our school and the education it provides.

All Governors of a Catholic School have the duty to ensure that he school is conducted in accordance with common purposes and values which are reflected in the School’s Mission Statement.  Foundation Governors are legally responsible for ensuring that the distinctive nature of Catholic education is preserved and developed.

The Governors of catholic schools are responsible for the following:

·         Appointment of and employment of staff

·         Drawing up admissions policy in accordance with diocesan guidelines and the LA

·         Ensuring that the whole curriculum is taught in the light of Gospel values and that it actively promotes the spiritual and moral development of the children
