Governors
WHO ARE WE?
On behalf of all of our governors I would like to welcome you to our school’s Governing Body pages.
Our governing body was reconstituted and approved by the Archdiocese of Liverpool on 25th March 2015 and made by order of Halton Local Authority on 8th July. It now consists of eight members who are fully committed to upholding our school Values.
As well as the Headteacher and a staff representative, our governing body also includes parents of children who attend our school and representatives from our church and Local Authority.
The governing body has a range of duties and powers which include but are not limited to:
- set the aims and objectives for the school
- set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
- set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives
- monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives
- be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend)
As governors, we are all focused on the same goal; to provide each child with an excellent education based on the highest possible academic, social, moral and cultural standards. You can help us achieve our goal by supporting our Headteacher and staff, and by respecting our school aims, values and policies.
If you would like to contact me to discuss any matter please do so by contacting the School Office. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in the coming year.
Mrs Lesley Pearsall
