The governors support the senior leadership of the school and play a role
in liaison with the Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust. Each governor is expected to take a link role in relation to a particular area of school activity/curriculum.

Interested people should contact the Chair of Governors, Eleanor Fletcher  eleanorfletcher@gmail.com for an informal chat about the role.

100 Club

Why not join the 100 Club and support the Parish at the same time. One hundred of our parishioners pay £1 each week and are each given a number. Every Sunday after a mass one of the numbers is drawn out of a hat. The lucky person wins £50 and the other £50 is used for Parish projects.
