Supporting the School as a Governor

The governing body of the school supports and provides strategic direction. We are very fortunate to have an amazing strength and depth in our governors and we are very grateful for all they do for our children. The governing body (GB) is comprised of foundation governors, who are Catholic and are appointed by the Bishop, parent governors, non-Catholic governors and staff governors.
