St Peter Chanel has a team of Governors who take an active role in supporting the Schools efforts to improve and maintain the highest possible educational standards.
Working alongside the Head Teacher we oversee the success of the school, agree priorities, monitor and evaluate performance.
We are responsible for upholding the Catholic ethos of the school, setting the strategic direction of the school, for over-seeing the curriculum taught and approving the budget.
The Head Teacher (who is also a Governor) makes the day to day decisions about the running of the school.
The Government and Ofsted have high expectations of Governing Bodies and Leadership.
When inspected, Ofsted will evaluate how effectively governors challenge and hold senior leaders to account for all aspects of the schools performance and how they ensure financial probity.
Helping and supporting the Senior Leadership Team with their aims, policies and priorities for the school.
We help our Senior Leadership Team make decisions on our schools budget.
Monitoring and evaluating the work of the school and pupil attainment.
This is one of our main responsibilities where we monitor any incidents that are regarded as a Safeguarding issue.
The Chair of Governors, Mrs P Slonecki, is the Safeguarding Governor and has regular contact with the Head Teacher regarding Safeguarding.
Governors carry out a Learning Walk once a term to see first-hand the work that is being done in the school.
Please speak to the school office.
