Welcome from the Chair of Governors
On behalf of the Governors of St. Joseph & St. Theresa Catholic Primary School, I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to our school. In this section you will be able to find out more information about the school’s Governors and the work that we do.
As a Local Governing Body, our purpose is to ensure that a high quality of education is being provided, in a safe and nurturing environment. We take responsibility for the strategic development of the school by monitoring progress and constructively challenging the school leadership team to maintain the excellent conduct, ethos, and performance expected at St. Joseph & St. Theresa’s.
The Governors work very closely with the Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and teaching staff, supporting them in their commitment to providing St. Joseph & St. Theresa’s pupils with the best possible education, spiritual wellbeing, key social and creative skills, confidence and self-esteem, to help enrich and further their personal development for their life ahead.
St. Joseph & St. Theresa’s is a wonderful place, and all of us who serve the school as Governors are immensely proud of the fantastic achievements of those attending and working at the school. We would like to thank parents for their interest in supporting and maintaining our strong partnership with the local community, especially our local Catholic Church – St. Josephs, in Burntwood.
It is truly a privilege to be Chair of Governors at St. Joseph & St. Theresa’s, with a devoted team who work hard to share their expertise in helping to guide our school forward. On these pages of the school website you can find out more information about the school’s Governors and the work that we do. If you would like to contact me, in my capacity as Chair of the Governors then please do so via this email address:

We wish your child every success and happiness at St. Joseph & St. Theresa’s, may God bless you all,
Kay Greene
