Governors
Introduction
The Governors of St. Mark’s are responsible for the management of the school, in acting as a critical friend to the headteacher and her staff and most importantly in being the voice of the Bishop, by supporting and maintaining the catholic ethos which envelops the Education of our children. Their responsibilities include:
- Agreeing and monitoring the financial budget
- Overall responsibility for staffing
- Ensuring the curriculum is balanced and broadly based
- Setting and monitoring appropriate targets for pupil achievement
- Maintaining the school fabric, including insurance
- Determining the admissions policy
- Maintaining the catholic ethos of the school
The Governors meet regularly. Minutes of these meetings are available in school should parents ever wish to see them.
