Governors

The Governors of St John Fisher School welcome you to this site. We are proud of our school and work with the Head and wider community to raise standards and also to ensure the well being of every pupil/person in our school. We are a committed friendly group of people; some of us are parents of children attending St John Fisher School, all very keen to achieve the highest standards within the school.

School governors have a wide range of responsibilities. They help to raise the standards of pupil achievement by setting annual targets, and plan the schools future direction. Governors have responsibility for monitoring the school's budget. Governors are also accountable for the performance of the school to parents and the wider community.

As a Roman Catholic school, the Governors also have a duty to preserve and develop the catholic nature of the school.

The full governing body meets five times a year. Certain key tasks provide the focus for our discussions and as a minimum each meeting focuses on a core topic as follows:-

• Analysis of results
• Setting targets for the year
• Approving the School Development Plan
• Approving the Annual Budget
• Reviewing school policies

The main governing body is supported by 2 committees which meet twice a term as follows:

1. Resources committee - concerned with finance, premises and people
2. Curriculum Committee - concerned with the school curriculum and with standards of performance.

All the Governors try to attend school functions and may also make formal and informal visits during the school day.

Once a year we hold an information evening for parents.

We can be contacted via the school office.
