June 2024: Foundation Governor Vacancy

19 June 2024 By amos

St Werburgh’s and St Columba’s Catholic Primary Schoool is currently recruiting a Catholic Church Foundation Governor to join their Governing Body.

The inclusion of Foundation Governors on the governing body is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a Church school and supports the school’s distinctive religious ethos. The vacancy must be filled by community members affiliated with the Catholic Church, who are not related to any children within our school and do not work in the education sector.

The role would suit someone with an interest in serving our community and supporting the needs of our school children. The role of a School Governing Body is:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos, and direction of the school
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and it’s pupils.
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

No one governor is expected to know it all! The strength of a governing body lies in its ability to attract and rely upon members from a wide variety of backgrounds, share out duties amongst its members and be able to take decisions as a group.

The governing body is busy and energetic and would warmly invite anyone interested in finding out more about the role to contact the school in the first instance to arrange an informal chat. Telephone Sarah on 01244 478954 or email: admin@lovelearnlaugh.org.uk

Please note that for the protection of children, all governor appointments are subject to an identity check.
