Welcome to the Governors' section!

The Local Governing Committee (LGC) of St Peter's Catholic Primary School is a Committee of the Bosco Catholic Education Trust Board, and operates under the Bosco Catholic Education Trust Scheme of Delegation.  The Committee is made up of volunteers who have statutory responsibilities under education legislation.  The LGC includes foundation governors (appointed by the Bishop), staff governor, parent governors and co-opted governors, all of whom work closely with the Headteacher in the strategic planning of the school and to develop a school which the whole community can feel proud of.  Specific responsibilities include ensuring clarify of Catholic vision, ethos and strategic direction; holding the appropriate senior leadership to account for the educational performance and Catholic character of the school and it's pupils and for the internal organisation, management and control of the school, including performance management of staff; overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure it's money is well spent.  All Governors serve a 4 year term of office.

The Local Governing Committee operates a model of governance where the governing body works as a 'whole team' without any committees and meets every half term, or more if required.  This means that all governors have up to date information regarding the school and can offer timely support and challenge as well as take action should the need arise.

The focus for the first half term meeting is "Resources" discussing areas such as the financial management of the school, looking after issues around the school's staff both teaching and non-teaching, and ensuring that the buildings and grounds of the school are kept in excellent condition and in line with health and safety policies and procedures.

The focus for the second half term meeting is "Curriculum and Standards" discussing areas such as monitoring and evaluating the delivery of the curriculum, standards of teaching and learning and monitoring the strategies being implemented to improve attainment.  Governors will challenge and evaluate the impact of leadership and management, including their own role on the forward development of the school.
