Governors

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories and responsibilities for each Governor.

St Francis RC Primary School is part of the Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust. We have a local Governing Body which alongside the trust is responsible for overseeing many of the strategic decisions of the school. A key role is to act as a ‘critical friend’: to support, to challenge, to ask questions, ultimately to represent the school community.

The Governing Body works in close partnership with the Headteacher and staff. Whilst the Headteacher is, of course, responsible for the day to day running of the school, the governors and trust are involved with such things as staffing, curriculum, school buildings and finance. It ensures the school functions well and maintains the proper range of academic and social objectives.
