Governors
Welcome to the Governance Area of our site!
We have a small but highly committed team of governors which includes parents, teachers and representatives from the local community. Together we work in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team, staff and Enhance Academy Trust to ensure that the children who attend St Helen's maximise their potential and our vision is strengthened.
Whilst the School’s Senior Leadership Team are responsible for the day to day running of the school, the Local Governing Board is involved in the strategic direction of the school. The Local Governing Board plays an important role in ensuring that the school is accountable for its actions. The Governors meet 5 times per year for a formal meeting and also spend time in school in order to monitor developments and keep up to date with the progress made towards school priorities.
