Governors

The Board of Governors are responsible for the conduct of the school and for helping it to achieve continuous improvements and high standards in all aspects of performance.  Our aim is to ensure that the children are attending a successful school which provides them with excellent education as well as supporting their well being.  In order to achieve this, we work closely with the various stakeholders who have an interest in the success of the school; the Diocese of Westminster, Hertfordshire Local Authority, the trust Board of ASCAT and, most importantly the school staff and parents of Divine Saviour children. 

We fulfil our responsibilities by focusing on three key areas:

  • Ensuring that there is a clear vision and strategic direction
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils and the management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school
