St Patricks RC Primary School, A Voluntary Academy

Governors

Our Governing Body

As a school that is part of the Emmaus Catholic Trust, our Governors form a local governing board (LGB) within the multi- academy trust.

The LGB is a subcommittee of the Trust.

The existence of the LGB supports the Trust's ethos and the aligned autonomy of the school.

The Governors are made up of various groups including:

• Foundation Governors 
• Parent Governors
• Staff Governors
• Associate Governors
