St Mary and St Pancras CE Primary School is governed by people representing our local community and its links with the wider world.

Some governors are parents or staff, others are foundation (Church of England) governors, from the local authority or the churches of St Mary ‘s Church, Eversholt St and St Pancras Euston Road.  All our governors have equal status and make decisions collectively. In a typical governing body meeting, we might look at the impact of our school’s distinctive Christian Vision, pupils outcomes,  finance,  develop policies or assess the impact of recent legislation. Safeguarding, Health & Safety and the impact of our Vision are all standing agenda items. Our school Vision and Values underpin every decision that we make.

Our legal duties include

  • setting strategic direction, policies and objectives
  • approving the school budget
  • reviewing progress against the School Development Plan objectives
  • appointing and supporting the Headteacher by being a critical friend

Individual governors have regular meetings with staff in one capacity or another. We all meet together as a body nine times a year. If you think there is something the governors need to know and to discuss there, please contact the Chair, James Poole, through the school office.

How do I become a Governor?

If you think you have what it takes to be a school governor there are a number of ways of finding schools that have vacancies: 1) You can contact your local school to ask if they need a new governor 2) You can contact the School Governors’ One Stop Shop‘, which recruits Governors nationally 3) You can contact your local council 4) Contact the LDBS.

We are delighted to announce that The Revd Jonathan Lee was licensed as Associate Priest for St Pancras Euston Rd on 19th September 2024 and by virtue of his office will become a Governor of the school.  Now he is in place, we expect Foundation Parochial Church Council will appoint to  the remaining vacancy.

If you would like to become a Governor, please do get in touch with the Chair of Governors, James Poole or the Headteacher, Jules Belton on the school number 0207 387 6117 / admin@stmp.camden.sch.uk.

St Mary & St Pancras governance arrangements are as follows:

  • The Full Governing Body meets each month for eight months of the year. The FGB is clerked by a clerk from Camden.
  • The Finance Committee  is convened to look at staffing, salaries and the budget and reports to the FGB.
  • A  designated Admissions Committee meets on behalf of the FGB with delegated authority to check  all is in order for  Nursery and Reception admissions every Spring spring term.
  • Panels of governors will be convened as and when required to consider parental complaints or disciplinary issues should they arise.

As part of our ongoing transparency we publish our minutes on this website, although that is not a statutory requirement. However, it is a statutory requirement for all governors to publish any conflicts of interest they may have or could be conceived as a possible conflict of interest. These are shown in the following tables. Please click on the tables to view.

 

 

 

Also, we are required to publish the attendance of governors over the previous 12 month rolling period including  their term of office and who appoints them. This is shown in the following table:
