Foundation Governor Recruitment
Governors perform a vital role in our school and are highly valued by the school, the parish and the Diocese. They provide strategic support and oversight, as well as maintaining and developing the Catholic character and ethos of our school.
If you would like an informal chat with the Headteacher to discuss the prospect of becoming a Governor, as well as an overview of the training and support that will be given, please email head@cardinalallen.co.uk
