St. Luke's C.E. Primary Governing Body 

Headteacher: Mrs K Allen

Chair: Mrs Carol Madigan

Vice-Chair: Rev Dr Matt Davis

Clerk to the Governors: Ms Julia Mackenzie

Our Governing Body is made up of people elected by parents, staff, the Parish Council (Foundation Governors) and the Local Authority. 

We also have co-opted and associate governors that offer skill and/or experience in an area that supports school improvement.

Associate governors do not have voting rights.

Effective governance has 3 core functions:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction for the school.

• Holding the leadership to account.

• Overseeing the financial performance of the school.

The Full Governing Body meets four times a year.

We have three committees:

Curriculum and Achievement (CA) meets each term

Resources (R): meets each term

Performance and Pay Review (PPR) meets once per year to consider staff performance and agree staff pay increments
