Governors Statement
St Christopher's is a Roman Catholic Primary School in the Diocese of Salford.
The Governing Body is dedicated to steering the strategic direction of the school by empowering the Headteacher, children and all staff to achieve the school vision.
We act as "critical friends" to the Headteacher and Senior leadership Team, reviewing the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
We oversee the financial performance of the school ensuring money is appropriately spent.
