Governor Information
Welcome to the Governors' Section
The Governing Body
The Governing Body has a wide ranging remit but its main functions are:
- The setting of the strategic direction of the school
- Ensuring accountability for the educational performance of the school
- Ensuring the best use of financial resources
All our work links to the current OFSTED framework which focuses on four
key areas:
- Quality of education
- Behaviour and attitudes
- Personal development
- Leadership and management
The full governing body meets at least once per term under the chairmanship of Mrs Lindsay Wise.
The governing body is supported by the following committees, each of which meets termly.
- The resources committee
- The safeguarding, standards and curriculum committee
Members of the public, including parents, should not contact members of the governing body directly. If they wish to raise a matter, they should contact the clerk to the governing body, Shirley Margrett by emailing clerk@st-josephs.hereford.sch.uk.
Further information on the governing body is available from the clerk, whose details are above.
Serving Governors
Governors come from many backgrounds and have a wide range of skills and experiences, which bring an independent view to issues of strategy, performance, the management of resources and setting the standards and expectations of the school. All governors are committed to the success of the school and to ensuring that all pupils are given every opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
