There are four main types of Governor at St. Alban & St. Stephen Catholic
Primary School & Nursery: Foundation, Parent, Staff and Local Authority.
Becoming a Foundation Governor
The majority of governors in St. Alban & St. Stephen Catholic Primary School
& Nursery are Foundation Governors. Foundation Governors are appointed in
the name of the Archbishop and form the majority of the governing body of a
Catholic school. They have a legal duty to preserve and develop the Catholic
character of the school and to ensure that the school is conducted in
accordance with its trust deed.
Governing boards have three core functions:
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; and
overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making
sure its money is well spent.
More information can be found by contacting the school office via email.

Becoming a Parent Governor
When vacancies arise, parents of pupils attending the school may elect one or
more of their number to serve as a school governor. Elected parent governors,
like elected staff governors, are full members of the governing body.
More information can be found by contacting the school office via email.
