Governing Body

All Saints Governing Board

Our Governing Board here at All Saints is made up of 12 members:

7 Foundation Governors, 2 Parent Governors, 1 Local Authority Governor, 1 Staff Governor and Headteacher.

As All Saints is a Church of England Aided Primary school, there will always be a majority of foundation governors. Foundation governors are appointed to serve as governors by the diocese. Foundation Governors have a particular focus on our school's Christian character and along with the Head Teacher, monitor and evaluate the school's distinctiveness and effectiveness as a Church School.

 Who are Governors and what do they do?  

School Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country made up of people who want to make a positive contribution to children's education. They have an important part to play in raising school standards.

The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. They must provide strategic management and act as a critical friend to support and challenge the head teacher and staff ensuring the school makes good progress towards achieving its aims and objectives.

They do this by:

• Setting a vision, values and ethos of the school
• Setting the aims and objectives for the school and setting the targets to achieve these
• Determining the schools staffing structure and key staffing policies and the principles to be used by school leaders to set other school policies
• Setting and managing the school budget by putting in place a robust financial management system that ensures best value for money
• Rigorously monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Head Teacher
