Becoming a Governor

Foundation Governors

The Diocesan policy requires Foundation governors to be practising Catholics. Foundation Governors are appointed in the name of the Archbishop and form the majority of the governing body of a Catholic school. They have a legal duty to preserve and develop the Catholic character of the school and to ensure that the school is conducted in accordance with its trust deed.

Co-opted Governors

Co-opted governors are appointed by the Governing Body to serve a term of four years. They are full governors with full voting rights. There is no requirement to be a Catholic but have a duty, the same as all other governors, to ensure the school is governed in accordance with the Instrument of Government
