Education & Formation Schools' Department Governors
Governors PDF Print

Governors of Catholic Schools provide our schools with a unique and wonderful support which is greatly appreciated.  Indeed, the role of Governor is crucial for the further development of our schools and being a Foundation Governor is an important ministry within the Church.

Recent legislation, most notably the School Standards and Framework Act (1998) and the Education Act (2002) has made substantial changes to provisions for school government.

We hope that governors find this section of our website of interest and of assistance in your role in these exciting but challenging times.

  • Holy Father's Visit Has Given Us Fresh Courage
    "The four days of the Papal Visit brought the Catholic Church in England and Wales to a different and new place, emphasising and enhancing the opportunity we have to live and proclaim our faith in public," said Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham during his homily at a special Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin (8 December).
  • Papal Visit DVD Released
    Celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first State Visit to the UK, the DVD tells the story of the four extraordinary days in September offering not just event highlights, but the Holy Father’s profound words and the true significance of all the components of the Visit.
  • A Call to Freedom
    The UK media has repeatedly stated that Pope Benedict’s visit to Spain has touched on familiar themes. Yet, as usual, it has been left to the Catholic press to identify the central point of his message: freedom. Whilst the secular reports quote the Pope as calling Europe to return to its Christian roots, they frequently omit the reason for such a challenge: freedom.
