Local Governing Body
The Governing Body meets as a whole five times a year and in addition conducts some business through the following specialist committees, which meet regularly through the year:
Sixth Form (Chair: Paul Anstey, Didcot Girls' School Governor)
The Chair and Vice Chairs may be contacted directly on: governors@st-birinus.oxon.sch.uk
The Governing Body expects the school to be a safe and enjoyable place for teaching and learning and has high expectations of its staff and students. It is proud of the achievements of its students whether academic, vocational or in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including within Didcot Sixth Form, which we run in partnership with Didcot Girls' School. We are also a proud member of the wider Didcot community.We were pleased that OFSTED evaluated the school as Good at its latest inspection in 2020 and that the report commented
"St Birinus School is a vibrant and inspiring place for pupils to learn. Pupils are very proud of their school. They feel it is a friendly and welcoming place where they really feel valued."
However, we always strive to do better, to deliver the best possible education for our young people so that they can each achieve their full potential and make the most of the opportunities and face up to the challenges before them.
Conor Byrne, Chair of the Governing Body
