The Governing Body is responsible for determining the overall strategy of the college and its educational character. They contribute their collective skills and experience to the Governing Body in a non-executive capacity on an unpaid basis.

Other responsibilities include:

• accountability for the proper use of the public funds
• overseeing the quality of all that goes on in college

The Governing Body does not manage the college or organise its day-to-day affairs. That is the job of the Principal, who is appointed by the Governing Body.

Sheila Yates us our Chair of Governors and she can be contacted via Priestley College, Loushers Lane, Warrington, WA4 6RD.
