Governors

Welcome to our Governors Section:

Our Governing Board has an establishment of 14 Governors. As a Church of England School, the majority are Foundation Governors who are appointed by the Diocesan Board of Education. We also have Staff, Parent, Local Authority (Lancashire) and Co-Opted Governor categories. The Headteacher and Rector are ex-officio members of the Governing Board, by virtue of their Office.

The Governors meet termly for a Full Governors Meeting and there are also sub-committees which oversee the following areas of School Life:

• Resources

• Curriculum, Standards & Effectiveness

School Governors play a Strategic role in ensuring the School provides the best possible education for its pupils. They work with the Headteacher and School Leaders to set the Schools vision and direction, oversee its financial performance and hold Leadership to account for educational outcomes. They don’t manage the day to day operations of the School, but rather provide strategic oversight and guidance.

The Governing Board here at Foulridge St Michaels & All Angels are members of the community who are committed to improving education locally. They are strong team players and are willing to ask fair, challenging questions whilst, importantly, being supportive of the Schools Leadership. A critical friend.

We have a genuine interest in the well being and success of our pupils. They are the reason we are here.

At our heart lies the distinctive Christian ethos based on Biblical teachings.

Occasionally, vacancies do occur on our Governing Board. If you are interested in this work, please contact the Chair of Governors whose details are below to arrange an informative chat.
