St Columba’s Catholic Primary School Governing Body Constitution is as follows:-

The Governing Body consists of:-

• Seven Foundation Governors
• One Elected Staff Governor
• One appointed Local Authority Governor
• Two Elected Parent Governors
• Headteacher

The standard term of office for a governor is four years. The chair and vice-chair are elected at the first meeting of the academic year and serve a two year term of office. Governors are very much in support of succession planning hence the election of chair and vice-chair ever two years; after two years the chair hands over to the vice-chair who supports the new vice-chair in ‘getting ready’ to ‘drive’ the governing body and school in raising standards.

The Chair of Governors is Father C McCoy who can be contacted via the school office, or through the Clerk to Governing Body via email at: debbie.askew@knowsley.gov.uk

The Vice-Chair of Governors is Mrs Margaret Boardman, who can be contacted via the school office or through the Clerk to Governing Body via email at: debbie.askew@knowsley.gov.uk
