The Role of the Governing Board

At Christ Church the Governing Board has a key strategic leadership role to play in making sure that the School is operated as effectively as possible. Its three main core functions are based around:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the School, and its pupils, and the performance management of staff

  • Overseeing the financial performance of the School and making sure its money is well spent.

Our Mission Statement

Our vision is to be the champion of children in our care and provide the children and adults within our community with a loving, stimulating and supportive environment where they can feel safe, secure and valued as individuals. We aim to foster and nurture the Christian faith and ethos of the Church of England to enable all members of our community to develop spiritually, socially, intellectually and emotionally so that they can reach their full potential.
