The governors would like to thank the long serving Governors Anne Malpass, Clare Archibald, Katy Couvreur and John Boughton for there many years of contribution to the governing body and for the valuable work they have done. Due to there recent retirement, we currently have vacancies on the Governing Body for foundation governors. If you are interested in being a Governor, please contact Rebecca via the school office for details.
What is the role of the governing body?
The Governing Body works as a ‘whole team’, meeting six times per year, once in each term, without any separate committees. An agenda for each meeting will include all the tasks which the governing body is required to consider, and the governing body will ‘commission’ assignments or activities arising from the business of the meeting, which will be recorded in the minutes.
In addition to ‘commissioning’ activities or actions on there behalf, the governing body has delegated monitoring activities to ‘monitoring pairs’ or ‘individuals’. This applies to statutory functions, and the priorities of the School Plan. Our priorities for this year have been taken from the Ofsted and section 48 inspections, plus extra-curricular activities. Please see the operational list below. In each case where a function has been delegated there is a statutory duty to report any action or decision to the governing body at the next meeting.
ST AUGUSTINE’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL - GOVERNING BODY
St Augustine’s Governing Body operates the circle model structure of governance, with typically six Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings per year, together with governor monitoring pairs/teams.
