Governance

All schools in England have a Governing Body which is responsible for overseeing many of the strategic decisions of the school. A key role is to act as a ‘critical friend’: to support, to challenge, to ask questions and ultimately to represent the school community.

The Governing Body works in close partnership with the Headteacher, staff and the Trust. Whilst the Headteacher is, of course, responsible for the day to day running of the school, the governors are involved with such things as staffing, curriculum, school buildings and finance. It ensures the school functions well and maintains the proper range of academic and social objectives.

Our Governors  do a fantastic job in quietly supporting the school in its growth and are a key part of all developments –  they are fully committed to making decisions that benefit all at All Saints.

Date of appointment details can be found on the Trust website as the committee comprises Trust Board members and operates as a sub committee of the Board.

Additional to this group we are very pleased to have a Parent Group who will also help support the school.

This group will be led by Courtenay Walls (Head teacher)  alongside Michelle Wilkinson (our PSA).
