Governors

The Governing Body has a corporate responsibility for overall effectiveness of our school. The majority of the School Governors are ‘Foundation Governors’ which means that they have been elected or appointed by the local Parochial Church Council (PCC) of Christ Church, Carnforth.

Our Chair of Governors is Father Stephen Jones.

At Carnforth Christ Church, we also have two parent governors. For more information about being a parent governor and about parent governor election disqualification, please download the documents at the bottom of the page.
