St Hugh's Catholic Primary School Governing Body

The Governing Board has three core functions.  These include ensuring that the Catholic Ethos and Mission of the school is upheld, to formulate alongside the Headteacher the strategic direction of the school, to support Senior Leaders to ensure the best educational performance for all children as well as overseeing the financial performance to ensure money is well spent. The Governors generally hold office for a period of four years at a time. During their term, they are encouraged to attend training courses and workshops on a comprehensive range of topics provided by the Local Authority and the Diocese and they receive updates on salient issues from a variety of sources. The Full Governing Body meets officially once per term. There are also various sub-committees. The Curriculum and Standards Committee and  Building and Resources Committee meet termly, although the Buildings & Resources Committee have additional meetings to approve the budget and to ensure best practice is being followed in managing the school finances.  In addition, we hold bi-annual meetings with regards to Swans@Play, our own before and after-school club. 

Foundation Governors - Foundation Governors at the school represent the interests of the Diocese of Shrewsbury. The role is to ensure that the school is clearly recognisable as Christian in its ethos and that its role is seen in the provision for Catholic children of the Diocese.

Local Authority Governor - Each Governing Body has one Governor representing the Local Authority.

Parent Governors - Parents of pupils registered at the school are eligible to stand for election as one of the two Parent Governors. They are elected by other parents at the school.

Staff Governors - The Headteacher is automatically eligible to be a full member of the Governing Body by virtue of the office. Both teaching and support staff who are paid at the school are eligible to stand as the staff governor. This person is elected by other members of the staff at the school.
