Hierarchy
On behalf of the Governing Body, I would like to welcome you to Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School’s website.
The aim of the Governors at our school is to work with the staff to help the children achieve their full potential in a happy and caring environment. We feel that the links between the school and home are vital, and we hope that you will find this website useful.
As a Governing Body, one of our roles is to be a ‘critical friend’, to challenge, support, and give direction to the school leadership. We do this in a number of ways:
- Monitoring the performance and progress of the pupils in our school
- Monitoring and evaluating the Catholic life of the school
- Working with the staff who teach and care for our children
- Overseeing the finances and resources of the school
- Providing a strategic review of future planning for the school and the pupils.
The Governors are involved in working on a variety of committees which meet regularly and help in the smooth running of the school – Curriculum, Finance and Staffing, Health and Safety, and Admissions. We have designated Governors for Special Needs and Child Protection. Each Governor also has a specialist subject responsibility, e.g., Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Art, etc.
The Governing Body members represent all the key groups involved in the life of our school – the Parents, the School, the Church, the Community, and the Local Authority.
We, like you, have the best interests of the pupils and school at the heart of what we are doing and in the decisions that we make to ensure that Corpus Christi forms Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge, and a hunger for justice.
Mr Jon Clinton
Chair of Governors
