OUR LADY OF SORROWS CATHOLIC VOLUNTARY ACADEMY
About the Governing Body
Welcome
A big welcome from the governors here at Our Lady of Sorrows! We work as a team with the Head Teacher for the benefit of all the pupils and staff. We are all volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds, including education, health and business.
The core functions of the governors is to:
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Hold executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its students and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
- Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
You can find out a little more about each of us below. If you would like to contact us, we would be happy to hear from you. You can contact us via the school office either by letter or by email, ‘FAO Governors.’

Amy Tucker Vice Chair,
|
My name is Amy Tucker, I have been a Governor at OLOS for 2 years and have recently been appointed as Vice-Chair of governors. Education is an important part of childrens lives. I feel that children spend as much time in a school/education setting as they do at home and therefore it is important to provide a safe and nurturing environment for them to thrive in and become the best that they can be. My role as a governor aims to monitor and question all practices within school to help achieve a high standard of education and wellbeing for all pupils. Within this role I am responsible for specific areas including safeguarding, attendance, behaviour and pupil premium and finally safer recruitment. within grassroots football means I have a vast amount of training and experience within safeguarding in different settings and therefore feel I can bring this experience to Our Lady’s and all my link roles.
