SCHOOL FINANCIAL VALUE STATEMENT - Q16
No-one employed at St Thomas More's Catholic Primary school receives a salary in excess of £100k.
The governing body is made up of twelve volunteers who are either elected or appointed to represent the views of the community. Governors meet regularly to help the school fulfill its Mission. We do this by getting to know the school, reviewing policies, regulating admissions, planning building work, reading reports and statistics to make sure the school is meeting the needs of all children, and monitoring the finance to ensure we have the best value for money possible.
We are always pleased to listen to parents’ views and concerns throughout the year.
Our Governing Body consists of 12 members and operates with FGB & 4 committees.
