A Message from our Chair of Governors
I consider it a privilege to be the Chair of Governors at St Augustine’s Catholic school. This highly committed group of local volunteers utilise a breadth of expertise to both support and challenge the senior leaders at this school.
Tina Cox, the Headteacher, leads a very skilled team to run the school day to day realising the core values of our school and the wider Catholic Trust, Our Lady of Lourdes.
The Governing Body meet at school approximately each half term. Governors monitor the impact of work undertaken and ensure the continuous drive for improved outcomes for all pupils. This work will include:
- Reviewing strategic priorities and monitoring the progress regarding these.
- Ensuring a culture of vigilance for safeguarding.
- Ensuring a high quality of curriculum and the delivery of this to secure optimum attainment and progress.
- Ensuring appropriate use of financial resources within school and provision for all pupils.
- Promoting and celebrating the Catholic ethos throughout the life of the school.
- Ensuring compliance with the requisite legislation and agreed policies.
Several of our Governors are professionals from areas to include law, business and education from primary to tertiary level. They work hard with all school staff and parents to ensure the success of this growing school. As a Governing Body, we appreciate the work undertaken by all our stakeholders to ensure an auspicious start to Catholic primary education for all youngsters at St Augustine’s.
Governors are unpaid volunteers who do their best to support the school and above all want the school and its pupils to succeed. You as parents have the opportunity to be a governor. Two places are reserved for parent governors. When there is a vacancy, elections are held for a new parent governor. Please consider standing when the next vacancy arises. You will find being a governor is very rewarding.
