St Peter’s Catholic Primary School’s Local Governing Body is looking to recruit 2 new governors.  We are looking for a baptised Catholic for the role of Foundation Governor as well as a parent for the role of Parent Governor.  Foundation Governors may not have had any prior connection to the school but would be more than welcome to express an interest in the role.

Our governors play an important role in the leadership and development of the school. Working collectively as a local governing board, governors help to:

Set the strategic direction of the school

Hold school leaders to account for educational outcomes

Oversee the school’s finances and use of resources

Support the school’s vision, values and Catholic ethos

Contribute to decisions about the school’s future

Ensure that the needs and interests of our pupils remain at the heart of our decision-making

Governors work as part of a team and do not need to be experts in every aspect of school life. Training and support are provided to help you understand your responsibilities and become an effective governor.  You don’t need previous experience of being a school governor, or experience of working in education. What matters is that you can bring your skills, experience and perspective to the role, and have a genuine commitment to making a difference to the lives of young people.

The Local Governing Body meets at the school every month (September – July), usually on the third Thursday of the month at 5.30pm.  

If you are interested in finding out more about these roles, please email the school on adminoffice@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk marking your email for the attention of Liz Holford, Chair of Governors.

Executive Headteacher
