Governance 2026-27
To contact the Chair of Governors, please use the email below.
As a school that is part of the Emmaus Catholic trust, our Governors form a local governing board (LGB) within the multi-academy trust.
The LGB is a subcommittee of the Trust. The existence of the LGB supports the Trust’s ethos and the aligned autonomy of the school.
The Governors are made up of various groups including:
- Six Foundations Governors (one of which will be an ex-offico
- Parish Priest in a primary school setting)
- Headteacher
- Two Parent Governors
- One Staff Governor
Foundation Governors are appointed by the Bishop
Parent and Staff Governors are elected .
Associate Governors are invited to join the LGB for their expertise.
Terms of office as per the Trust Scheme of Delegation.
Responsibilities include:
- Appointing and dismissing staff
- Setting the Admission Policies
- Establishing and monitoring the curriculum
- Health and Safety
- Safeguarding
And many other areas determined by the Trust. These can be found on the Emmaus website under the section Policies/Scheme of Delegation.
Governors hold four LGB meetings per year.
