School Governors
School governors are volunteers drawn from different parts of the community, such as parents, the staff, the local authority (LA) and the church. This helps to ensure that the governing body has sufficient diversity of views and experience. The church governors are called Foundation Governors and are appointed by Chester Diocese and the Parochial Church Council (P.C.C.) which is the governing body of our local church. Currently our school has eight governors, made up as follows;
1 Local Authority (L.A.) Governor
2 Staff Governors (1 of which is the Headteacher)
2 Parent Governors
7 Foundation Governors
The governing body has a range of duties and powers and a general responsibility for the conduct of the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement including setting targets for pupil achievement, managing the school's finances, making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based, appointing staff and reviewing staff performance and pay and many more.
The governing body has considerable discretion as to how to discharge its responsibilities but is required to constitute itself in line with the regulations and to appoint a chair and vice chair. The governing body may delegate certain of its responsibilities to certain governors or committees of governors, although in general, it is not compelled to do so.

Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work. (Titus 3:1)
