Our Governing Body

All school governing bodies have three core functions:

  • ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school
  • holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
  • overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

At St Augustine’s we also take seriously our role in preserving and developing the Catholic character of our school.

We are blessed to have an active and engaged governing body with a wide range of skills and experiences to aid them in effectively fulfilling their role.
