Christ Church School, like all church primary schools, is run by a board of local people including representatives of the church, Local Authority (LA), staff and parents.

The principal aim of the Governing Body is to ensure the school provides its children with a safe environment in which to learn and which helps them to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Working closely with the Head and Senior Leadership Team, the Governing Body is responsible for:
• Overseeing the direction and development of the school
• Contributing to whole school strategy, using school information and data
• Setting the budget and monitoring expenditure
• Monitoring standards
• The scrutiny and development of policies and procedures

The Governing Body meet twice a term for approximately two hours and some governors sit on one of the various committees that meet more regularly throughout the term. These committees include:

• Finance and General Purpose
• Data and Curriculum
• Community and School

Governors regularly visit the school and they have provided workshops, run after-school clubs and liased with teaching staff about curriculum subjects.
