Governance 2025 - 2026
As a school that is part of the Emmaus Catholic trust, our Governors form a local governing board (LGB) within the multi-academy trust.
The LGB is a subcommittee of the Trust. The existence of the LGB supports the Trust's ethos and the aligned autonomy of the school.
The Governors are made up of various groups including:
- Six Foundations Governors (one of which will be an ex-offico Parish Priest in a primary school setting)
- Headteacher
- Two Parent Governors
- One Staff Governor
