Governing Body

In addition to the Board of Directors each of the seventeen schools within the MAC has a Local Governing Body (LGB). Each governing body provides local oversight, challenge and support to its own school.

Our Lady and St. Teresa`s School is very fortunate to have dedicated Governors. The LGB is made up of the following categories of governors:

Foundation governors appointed by the Archdiocese of Birmingham
Staff governors elected by the staff, including the Principal.
Parent governors elected by the parents and carers.

The Local Governing Body is responsible for:

The Catholic vision and ethos of the school and working with the local community.
High standards of teaching and learning
Safeguarding
On-site health and safety
Admissions, attendance, complaints and exclusions

The Local Governing Body meet twice a term with a formal agenda.

Governors also meet regularly with Mr Pettle and the staff, as well as attending school events and celebrations.

The staff and Governors relationship with parents is key in enabling the school to fulfill its mission and the children to reach their God – given potential.

The Principal is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and management of the school. Governors are always happy to answer any questions you may have regarding school governance.

The Chair of Governors can be contacted at: sphilpott@gov.magnificat.org.uk
