What does the Local Governing Body do?

The Local Governing Body is a dedicated group of volunteers, who are responsible for holding the school's leaders to account for the achievement, behaviour and safety of every single one of our pupils. 

How do we do it?

We do this at Local Governing Body meetings which are held once every half term. In addition to these meetings, individual governors will visit the school as 'link governors' to meet with staff and pupils. We also have an Admissions Committee which meet when required throughout the year.

Our mandate

The purpose of governance, as set out in the DfE Academy Trust Governance Guide is to provide:

1.    Strategic leadership

2.    Accountability and assurance

3.    Strategic engagement

Our Faith

As a Catholic school, we are also accountable to the Archdiocese of Birmingham. The foundation governors ensure that the school maintains and develops the ethos of the Catholic Faith.
