Welcome to the Governors' section.
The purpose of the governing body:
The governing body is the school’s responsible body. It operates at a strategic level with three main responsibilities:
1. Ensuring clarity of the Catholic vision, ethos and strategic direction;
2. Holding the head teacher to account for the educational performance and Catholic character of the school and its pupils; and
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
Our school's governing body is made up of 4 different categories of governors:
Foundation Governors:
There are seven Foundation Governors. Foundation Governors are practising Catholics appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Portsmouth.
Local Authority Governors:
There is one Local Authority Governor appointed by the Local Authority.
Parent Governors:
There are two Parent Governors who are elected by the parents of children who attend the school.
Staff Governors:
There is one staff Governor (who can be a teacher or non-teacher) who is elected by other staff.
