Welcome to our Governors’ section.
School governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. All of our foundation governors have been appointed by the Archdiocese Trust on behalf of the Bishop.
Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
