Meet the Governors 

The governing board, with the headteacher, has overall responsibility for the running of the school. Governing boards have three core strategic functions:

•         Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

•         Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and

•         Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

I am a parent governor at St Mary Magdalene and I have a daughter who already attends the school with my other daughter hopefully joining once she’s old enough. I work for Sandwell Council as an IT Programme Manager and I hope to be able to use my knowledge and expertise in this area to support the school, its staff and its pupils in any way I can.
