Local Governing Body

The governors work as a team under the authority of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton and within the Xavier Catholic Education Trust Scheme of Delegation and are responsible for strategic oversight and making sure that the school provides the best possible education within a caring and supporting Catholic school environment.

The governors of Holy Family School believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people. The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision-making. Due to our relatively small governing body, we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors can be identified, and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.

Our Chair of governors is Mrs Liz Walmsley. She can be contacted on lwalmsley@holy-family.surrey.sch.uk.
