Our St. Gregory's Governing Body plays a vital role in shaping the vision and direction of our Catholic primary school, ensuring that every child receives a high-quality, Christ-centred education rooted in Gospel values. With a strong commitment to the spiritual, academic, and personal development of our pupils, our governors work closely with the headteacher, staff, and wider school community to create a nurturing and inspiring learning environment; one where every child and adult grows in the knowledge of God's love.

We are blessed at St Gregory's to have an active and committed board of Governors who work incredibly hard on a voluntary basis for our school community. The Governing Body meets each term. There are a number of Committees which focus on areas of school life, with our main committees being Staffing, Finance and Premises, Curriculum and Safeguarding. The committees also meet each term. There are a number of other committees which meet less regularly or as and when the need arises. Each committee consists of at least 3 governors along with the Headteacher. Governors also have an individual role, linking with a member of teaching staff to hold celebratory and developmental conversations about aspects of school life, such as subject leadership, pupil premium and SEND. 

Our governors have a very important role: they are responsible for ensuring all St. Gregory's children receive an exceptional education at our school. The governors regularly receive information which helps to evidence how the school is performing. This is analysed and discussed at the committees and at the Full governing body meetings, as well as through regular check-ins across the year. It is their job to monitor the performance of the school and to hold the headteacher and staff to account.

The term of office for Governors runs for 4 years. Governor elections for Parents take place when a vacancy arises.
