St Kentigern's

R.C Primary School

Governance 2023-24

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:

  • Foundation Governors (representing the Bishop)
  • Parent Governors
  • Staff Governors
  • Associate Governors

 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.
