ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC COLLEGE


Board of Governors
 
The school governors play a key role in the life and running of All Saints Catholic College. Comprehensive information in line with the statutory guidance on the constitution of governing bodies of maintained schools can be read here
 
The Board is an elected body drawn from the School’s various stakeholders including parents, staff and the local community. It has important legal powers and has strategic oversight of the school and its activities.

Other roles of the Board are to:

  • promote high standards of achievement;

  • act as a ‘critical friend’ to the School;

  • provide robust monitoring and evaluation of School performance;

  • oversee all aspects of School governance;

  • ensure that the School’s finances are managed properly;

  • offer support and challenge to the Headteacher and staff;

  • get involved in higher level staffing and building matters.

​​
The Board meets five times a year. Additionally it has two committees which meet at least termly with a focus on: Finance, Premises & Personnel, and Curriculum and Catholic Life. Governors are often delegated to perform specific roles or get involved in School projects with a strategic or organisational dimension, for example major building projects. They are always keen to hear from School stakeholders, and very much enjoy meeting them at the various School events. If you wish to raise a particular matter with the Board you can write to Amanda Sayers, Chairman of the Board of Governors, care of the School, but please remember that the Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day running of the School.
