Governance
The Governors at St Peter’s School are a well informed and committed group of volunteers who work as a team to
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff;
- Oversee the financial performance of the school, making sure its money is well spent.
As part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) the work of the governing board is supported by the Directors of ODST. The Directors have delegated many responsibilities to the governors. More information is available about ODST trustees and governance on their website.
Further information about the Trustees of ODST can be found here.
The governors work closely with Mrs Axford and other members of the staff team; they routinely visit school to monitor the implementation of the school’s strategic priorities. Governors receive training and support from ODST and the Diocese to help them fulfil their role effectively.
Meetings of the full governing board take place about six times a year..
