Foundation Governors in Catholic Schools

Foundation Governors are entrusted by the Bishop with the ministry of school governance and will always act in recognition of the love of Christ for all members of the school community and one another.
The role of the Governing Body is to provide support, guidance and legal responsibility for the strategic direction of the school.  Governors should be a 'critical friend'.  The Governing body makes decisions, reviews, supports and encourages the school and its management direction.
Governors also have very important statutory duties to the school and the role the Governing Body plays in the school is a vital one.
Governors  are the strategic leaders of our schools and have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education.

Many of our Catholic Schools are seeking Foundation Governors, including Blessed Robert Sutton Catholic Sports College at Burton.
