GOVERNOR RESPONSIBILITIES
The Governors make important, collective decisions and the Governing Body is answerable to parents and the community. The responsibilities of the Governing Body can be summarised as providing strategic management, acting as a critical friend and ensuring accountability. Specific responsibilities include:
- ensuring that the school is conducted as a Catholic School and in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Diocese of Clifton;
- setting the school's aims and values;
- planning the school's long-term future;
- promoting high standards of education and achievement;
- setting, agreeing and overseeing budgets;
- appointing senior staff, including the Headteacher;
When compared to a business, the Governing Body is the Board of Directors with the Headteacher being the Managing Director. Many responsibilities are delegated to the Head Teacher.
