Welcome to our Governors’ section

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School (Northfleet) has 2 governing committees - The Our Lady of Hartley & St Joseph’s Executive Committee and The St Joseph’s Academy Committee. Both are made up of volunteers who work together to support our schools across all aspects of daily school life, including strategic, financial and the curriculum.

All of our committee members work in different ways and have their individualised roles however, their main aim as a whole is to help us to provide the best possible education for our pupils by:  

• Setting the school's vision and strategic aims, agreeing plans and policies and making creative use of resources.
• Monitoring and evaluating performance, supporting and challenging the Executive Principal & Academy Principal in the management of the school.
• Ensuring that the school is accountable to the children and parents it serves, to its local community, to those who fund and maintain it, as well as the staff it employs.

As St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School (Northfleet) is a member of the Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership, a Multi-Academy Trust, its governance arrangements are regulated by the KCSP Governance Handbook (which includes the Scheme of Delegation and Terms of Reference).
