Meet The Governors
Catherine Price
Chair of Governors
I have been a Governor at St Richard’s school since 2000. I enjoy being part of the school community and supporting the staff and Headteacher in providing our children with a first class learning environment. I attended St Richard’s school as a pupil myself as did my mum before me and more recently (in 2004) my daughter Lucy.
My role as Chair of Governors includes managing the termly full governor meetings, interviewing staff and attending resources and standards committee meetings also. I am the lead governor for English and Pupil Voice. I am in regular contact with Mrs Nulty we discuss all aspects of the strategic management and day to day running of the school.
I feel very privileged to be part of St Richard School and am very proud of our children and staff.
