2024 – 202 Documents: Documents to be uploaded soon, once new appointees have had time to complete Induction, Compliance etc…
In 2024 – 2025, Governors have adopted the 6 Full Governor Meeting model to fulfil their responsibilities rather than delegating to small committees. This is a change in practice from previous years.
The Governors of Sacred Heart RC School believe it is important that the Governing Board reflects the diversity of our school community. Diverse Boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for our children and young people.
Data is currently collected on the diversity of the Board, which is used to inform our recruitment and training needs to ensure that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making. However, due to our relatively small Board we do not publish this data online as individual Governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
