We are very fortunate to have a strong team of Governors who work tirelessly for the families of St. Catherine's Parish.

If you are interested in becoming a Governor of our school, please contact Miss Davies, 01768 864 612 or

admin@st-catherines.cumbria.sch.uk to discuss the matter further.

We would be delighted to welcome new members from our Parish
