WELCOME TO THE GOVERNORS INFORMATION PAGE

The Governing Body at Christ Church School play a strategic role in the running of the school. They are a team of people who work closely with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team in planning the direction and management of the school. It's key functions are :- 

• Setting the aims and objectives of the school.
• Setting policies and targets to achieve these aims and objectives.
• To monitor, review and evaluate the progress being made towards achieving its aims and objectives.
• To challenge and support the Headteacher.

Governors must act with integrity, objectivity and honesty and in the best interests of the school and its future. They are not expected to be involved in the detail of the day-to-day management of the school which is undertaken by the Leadership Team.

The Governors are more than happy to discuss any matters regarding school life. Parents are welcome to contact the governors by email to the following address: info@christchurch-chad.oldham.sch.uk or by leaving a message with the school office.

The Governing Body meets formally at least once a term.
