Welcome to the section of the website where you can find out more about the school’s governors and the work that we do.

St Botolph’s has an active governing body. You don't have to be an 'expert' and no formal qualifications are required. Common sense, time, enthusiasm and a commitment to working as part of a team are the qualities you would need. As a guide, being a school governor would take up 6-8 hours a term of your time, which includes attending meetings, reading related papers and spending time in school.

School Governors work as a team with the Headteacher and staff – the phrase often used to describe this role is being a 'critical friend'. The Governing Body contributes towards the School Development Plan and helps set and reach objectives with a view to promoting high standards of education and achievement and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life. 

Governors are unpaid volunteers who are elected or appointed to a four year term of office. Being a school governor provides an opportunity to develop new skills and strengthen existing ones. The Governor Development Team offers extensive training to help you understand your role. 

For copies of Governing Body minutes please contact the Clerk to Governors, Kirsty Nightingale via email: knightingale@st-botolphs.peterborough.sch.uk 

If you wish to know more, or are interested in becoming a governor, please contact the Clerk to Governors or the School Office.
