Who are Governors and what do they do?
The board of governors at All Saints CEVA Primary School and Nursery Unit take an active and supportive interest in all aspects of school life. The current governors are drawn from a wide cross section of the community.
The role of governors and governing bodies is to help the school provide the best possible education for their pupils by:
- Setting the school’s values, vision and strategic aims, agreeing plans and policies, and making creative use of resources;
- Monitoring and evaluating performance, acting as a critical friend to the Headteacher to support and challenge them in managing the school;
- Ensuring that the school is accountable to the children and parents it serves, to its local community, to those who fund and maintain it, as well as to the staff it employs.
Please see below for more information about our Governing Team and their roles in our school.
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.
