Welcome to the Board of Governors’ page

Below is a table of the current Board of Governors at St Theresa’s School.  As you can see we have 12 Governors and 7 of them are Foundation Governors i.e. those appointed through the Church to uphold the Catholic ethos and distinctive nature of our Catholic School.  We also have a Local Authority Governor, two Parent Governors and a Staff Governor along with an Associate Governor who monitors Health and Safety on behalf of the staff and their professional associations.

We also encourage parents to express their views about the school.  The way this is done is usually through parent questionnaires.  The results of the latest questionnaire are published below:

Parents can also express their views about the school through OFSTED’s Parent View system which can be accessed through the following link:

Our Governors are very committed to their role and take both attendance at meetings and training very seriously.  Attendance and Training are detailed on tabs to the right of this main page.
