2026-27

St Anne’s R.C. Primary School is part of Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust.

The governance of our school is supported by our Local Governing Body (LGB). Our governors work closely with the Headteacher and school leadership team to support the school’s Catholic mission, monitor educational standards and outcomes, promote the wellbeing of pupils, and ensure that the school is well led and managed.

The Local Governing Body operates within the governance arrangements and Scheme of Delegation of Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust.
