This school has eight governors who act on behalf of St Elisabeth's for Thrive CE Academy Trust. For more information on the organisation of the Trust and the other schools within it, please see the Thrive CE Academy Trust Page.
The Local Governing Board (LGB) of St Elisabeth's CE Primary School has clearly defined responsibilities and is accountable to the Trust Board of the Thrive CE Academy Trust.
St Elisabeth's CE Primary School is a church school with very strong links to the Parish of St Elisabeth's in Reddish. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the church nominate some of our governors, in order that the faith foundation of our school is firmly upheld. The PCC nominations have to be ratified and approved by the Members of the Trust, who have the controlling interest.
This school has two parent governors who is elected by parents with children at the school. There are also two staff governors. One is the Head of the school, she is a governor because of her job. She attends the meetings and prepares reports for the governors. The other is voted for by all the people who work in the school.
Co-opted governors are selected by the Academy Trust to support and challenge school improvement and ensure that school improvement priorities are having the desired impact on our children's education. Members of the Trust Executive Team may also attend meetings to ensure clear lines of communication between the LGB and Board of Trustees.
This school on occasions also has community governors or associate members in order to ensure succession planning is rigorous.
This governing body meets three times each year (once every term).
You will also be able to read the latest minutes of the Thrive CE Academy Trust, St Elisabeth's CE Governing Body, too.
Please note that at every Governing Body meeting our Governors have to declare any pecuniary interests.
All our Governors have enhanced DBS checks.
