    • The Governing Body

    Our Governing Body

    Our Governing Committee provide support to the school leadership team of the school. 

    They meet on at least 15 occasions during the year with at least one meeting each term for the whole Governing Body and half termly meetings for the various committees (Quality of Education; Resources; RE).

    The Resources Committee (HR, Finance and Premises) plans the schools expenditure against the budget allocated via the Local Authority.  This Committee is responsible for staff recruitment, employment and HR management.  They provide statutory oversight of Health and Safety and develop a buildings plan to ensure that our children have a modern, pleasant and effective environment in which to learn.

    The Quality of Education Committee support the SLT by ensuring that pupils  at OLQOH have access to outstanding teaching of a curriculum that is broad, balanced and based on the Gospel values of the school.

    Local Governing Committee

    Since September 2015, the Governors have also had the power to co-opt additional members to join the LGC (Local Governing Committee).  For example, the school’s Learning Mentor, Linda Kelly, attends all LGCs, providing advice and guidance to Governors. The Governors are supported by their clerk, Mrs Mary Lamplough.
