Barnsley Federation - St Helen's, St Michael and All Angels, and Sacred Heart schools - July 2008
Excerpt, July 2008:
"The newly federated governing body has come together very quickly and effectively. Its experienced members
give unstinting support to the school, but also challenge performance and seek clarification when required. They know the
strengths and weaknesses of the school well. "
Excerpt February 2009:
Governance is good. The governing body is deeply committed to ensuring that the federation of which the school
is a part is successful.
