Governors
At St Mary’s, in addition to the principal and teaching staff, there are two bodies responsible for the management of our school; the Board of Trustees and the Governing Body.
The Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees set the strategic direction of the school and attend to the business administration (employer, legal and financial aspects). The proprietor of the school is a company limited by guarantee (registration number 7745424).
The Governing Body
The Board of Governors act as a management board and are responsible for the operational direction of the school rather than to manage day-to-day, that responsibility lies with the principal and staff. The Board of Governors will include parent, foundation (church), staff and community governors.
Governing is at the heart of St Mary’s, and our governors bring together many skills and experiences to their roles. The governors are responsible for how the school is performing, and are to ensure high standards of achievement are being met, and to make sure the school provides a good quality of education. Governors core responsibilities include:
- establishing strategic direction
- ensuring accountability
- overseeing financial performance
