Governors of St Joseph’s

The governing body of St. Joseph’s is made up of 5 foundation governors, 1 head teacher governor, 1 parent elected governor and 1 associate governor appointed by the foundation governors.  Foundation Governors form the majority of governors on a Catholic school’s governing body.  In primary schools the parish priest nominates and appoints the Foundation Governors. They have the responsibility of assisting the Bishop, by sustaining and developing the catholic ethos and distinctive catholic nature of the school in which they serve.
