St Leonard’s Catholic School is a voluntary aided mixed comprehensive school in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hexham & Newcastle. At St Leonard’s as in any Catholic school the governors are the ‘Keepers of the Catholic Vision’, supporting and collaborating with parents, staff and Chaplains in cultivating an authentic Catholic ethos. Our Foundation Governors have particular responsibility for our Catholic identity. Being a governor is not an inspectorial or simply administrative role, but involves an attentive, committed monitoring of the life of the school. The Governing Body is made up of
(a) Foundation Governors: The Foundation Governors are appointed by the Bishop of Hexham & Newcastle.
(b) Staff Governors: The Head Teacher is a staff governor by virtue of his appointment. The other staff governors are elected by the academic and support staff.
(c) Parent Governors: Parents Governors are elected by the parents of children at the school.
