A message from the chair of Governors
Welcome to our website! My name is Jo Smith and I am the Chair of Governors.
Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
If a parent or carer has a concern about their child, or the school generally, they should take it up in the first instance with their class teacher or head teacher as appropriate.
It is a pleasure to contribute to the life and wellbeing of this happy and outstanding federation of church schools.

Our governors
We are very fortunate to have a committed and dedicated team of governors. Their role is crucial in the continuing success and development of All Saints’ CE Infant and Junior Schools.
The law states that the purpose of governing bodies in our type of school, is to “conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement at the school” (Section 21(2) Education Act 2002).
In practice this means we have six core functions:
More information can be found in The Governance Handbook 2019 from the DfE.
In early September 2019, the governors at All Saints' agreed to restructure the way that they work. This means that:
Policies
Policies, set out in a clear way, form the framework within which our school operates. The monitoring of school policies is delegated to the committees; this is the time for governors to develop their strategic role, planning, monitoring and reviewing school progress. Policies are available for parents via the school office or on the policy page of this website.
All of our governor minutes, plans, records of visits and self evaluation are stored securely on Governor Hub.
