Register your interest

Governors are strategic leaders within schools and have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a great way to give back to your local community. We need a keen and committed governor.

Governing bodies have a strong focus on three core strategic functions:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of the staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

Each individual governor is a member of a governing board and all decisions are the joint responsibility of that board. As a governor, you will attend meetings, review the associated paperwork to prepare questions and visit the school. You will also be expected to attend training and may be assigned a special responsibility, such as Development and Training, Safeguarding or Health and Safety.

All Saints is a Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School. We would look to Governors (especially Foundation Governors who would be supported by the Diocese) to support the Christian beliefs and values of the School.
