St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School

Governing Body Members

The Governing Body of our school is constituted of twelve members - 7 Foundation Governors, 2 Parent Governors, 1 LA Governor, 1 Staff Governor and the Headteacher.
 
They meet together as a whole Governing Body once per half term.
 
Governors also undertake areas of responsibility.  This ensures that they work as part of the Leadership and Management of the school, to enable St Vincent's to live out the school Mission Statement fully - 'To love, serve and learn as Jesus shows us'.
The Code of Conduct for Governors outlines the roles, responsibilities and expectations of Governors in relation to fulfilling their three core strategic functions:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils;

Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
