What is a Parent Governor?
School governors are volunteers who help in the leadership of the school. Most schools work with a group of school governors - together they are called the 'governing body' or 'board of trustees' (as the school is an academy). They get involved at a strategic level, eg overseeing the budgets and curriculum, not the day-to-day running of the school.

Governors also help to make decisions about the school's long-term goals. At Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, they support the Head Teacher, but also ask questions to make sure the Senior Leadership Team is taking the school in the right direction.

Holy Cross Catholic Primary School believes very strongly that it is important to have parents involved in the governance of the school, so please think about applying for the role of Parent Governor.
