Academy Council & BKCAT Governance
Governor Recruitment
We warmly welcome expressions of interest from individuals who feel called to serve our school community as Foundation, Parent, or Staff Governors on our Academy Council.
For those who may be new to the world of school governance, we understand that taking this step can feel daunting. However, governance is first and foremost a positive vocation of service. Academy Governors play a vital role in supporting the mission of Catholic education, helping schools to flourish in faith, learning, and community, and ensuring that every child is enabled to grow in love, friendship and joy.
The Chair of the Academy Council is Canon Tim Wiley. If you would like to contact Canon Wiley, please do so via email at admin@sjp.bkcat.uk or by post to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Newgate, Pontefract, WF8 4AA.
