Our Governors

The school is governed, in accordance with the Instrument of Government and Academy Scheme of Delegation, by a Local Governing Body, comprising:

​​

• 6 Foundation Governors

• 2 Elected Parent Governors

• 1 Staff Governor

• Plus Principal/Head of School/Executive Principal

​

The Local Governing Body at St. Nicholas comprises of a wide range of people who bring different skills and experiences to this important role. The governors are jointly responsible for the conduct of the school ensuring that the best possible Catholic education is provided for the pupils.

​

The full Local Governing Body meets five times per year, to support the Academy Board of Directors and Committee groups who meet each half-term. These are always evening meetings. The governors take an active interest in the life of the school and are very strategic, challenging and supportive.
