The governors of St Anne’s Catholic Primary School bring their knowledge and experience of different areas of life and use these to aim for excellence in caring for and educating all the children in our school.
The three core strategic functions, of the Governing Body, are to:
- ensure clarity of Catholic vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- hold the appropriate senior leadership to account for the educational performance and Catholic character of the School and its pupils; and for the internal organisation, management and control of the School, including performance management of staff; and
- oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent.
The governors consider themselves lucky to be blessed with such a strong and positively committed staff as well as a very supportive community which constantly encourages our children to always aim for excellence.
The governors hope that you find this website both useful and informative.
