Governing Body

Our governing body supports all that we do and are keen to get involved as they join with us in a simple goal:

for us all to be ‘Proud of our children; Proud of our school; Proud of our faith'.



 The remit for the Governing Body is to:


  1. Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
  2. Hold the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
  3. Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.



The governors of Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School believe it is important that the governing board reflects the diversity of our school community. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for our children and young people.

 

Data is currently collected on the diversity of the board, which is used to inform our recruitment and training needs to ensure that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making. However, due to our relatively small board we do not publish this data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
