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 six LGB meetings per year.
