Could you support the wonderful work of our Catholic schools by becoming a Foundation Governor?

‍

'Foundation Governors do not need to be education experts. The most effective governors listen, think and ask questions. There is no magic formula about what makes a perfect Foundation Governor, they come from all walks of life and all ages.'

Foundation Governors are appointed in the name of the Bishop 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. The ministry of Foundation Governor is an important and rewarding one. The Catholic character of our schools depends on committed Catholics being willing to undertake this service, the Bishop is therefore very appreciative of all those who offer to assist him in this vital task.
