Dear Heavenly Father, We seek your blessing and support in all the responsibilities we bear as Governors of St Ethelbert's Catholic Primary School and Nursery.

St. Ethelbert’s Catholic Primary School Governing Body follows the committee model of governance. The Full Governing Body, the Finance/Resources and Personnel Committee, the Curriculum and Learning Committee, and the Catholicity Committee each meet three times a year. Governors are not paid at all and give up enormous amounts of their free time to help the school. They visit the school and develop the school ethos and values to give the very best possible educational experience to all the children that go through the doors from Nursery to Year 6. The Catholic Church appoints the majority of Governors, called
Foundation Governors. Other Stakeholder Governors are elected by the school staff, parents and Kent County Council.
