Our Governors

The aim of the Governing Body is to help the academy provide the best possible Catholic education for pupils.

They operate at a strategic level with 3 core functions to monitor:

The Catholic life of the school
Standards (attainment, progress, curriculum provision)
Pastoral care and welfare of the pupils (including safeguarding)

We currently have a local governing body which comprises of:

Four Foundation Governors, appointed by the Bishop of Nottingham and One Parent Governor, elected by parents to act as a representation for the parents of the governing body

Our Head Teacher is required to attend all LGB Meetings

It is a requirement that Schools publish information on websites with regard to Governor attendance to Local Governing Body meetings and if our Governors have any Business and Pecuniary Interest.

Please see the table below:

Chair of Governors- Mrs T Shelton-Bourke - Foundation

Hello, I am Teresa Shelton-Bourke, the Chair and a Foundation Governor at Blessed Robert Widmerpool School.

I live in the parish of Corpus Christi with my husband. I have had the privilege of having my 2 children both pass-through Catholic Education here at Blessed Robert Widmerpool and then at The Becket School. I am a full-time school Business Manager at two Primary Schools in Clifton and also do various things that help the local and wider community. I help Mrs Kennelly and Father Pitak with the First Holy Communion programme, I also help Father Pitak and Miss Boott to run the RCIA programme. I help with the church fayres, and I am also a bell ringer at Corpus Christi church (or try to be)

I first became a Governor at Blessed Robert in 2023 and I hope to support the fantastic work that is carried out every day at Blessed Robert Widmerpool.

In my spare time I like walking, enjoying family life and travelling.
