Governance
What the Governing Body does:
The three core functions for governance in all academies are:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding the Executive Leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
At St. Mary’s Junior school, everything we do as a governor body is held together under the vision statement.
‘Raising aspirations and a love of learning through courage, resilience, positive relationships and God’s love.
Our Governing Body currently consists of 2 foundation governors, 2 community governors, 2 parent governors, 2 staff governors and the Principal
