Board of Governors

The Board of Governors provides governance and strategic support to the leadership of St Joseph’s.

The Board has three statutory functions and has adopted a fourth, endorsed by the National Governance Association:

• • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the performance management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
  • Ensuring the voices of stakeholders are heard.

The board has eleven members and is supported by the headteacher. Board members will engage throughout with members of the community and are committed to being as open and transparent as possible in their work, while respecting confidentiality and appropriate boundaries. They will work with regard to the Nolan principles and follow the Ethical Framework for Education.

As is the case with all governors, they are volunteers giving their time freely to support the school.

The board has adopted Terms of Reference and has agreed a Statement of Principles and Code of Conduct.
