Meet the Governors
As we are a voluntary aided church school, most of our governors are foundation governors and appointed by the Church. In addition we have three elected parent governors and one local authority governor.
Governors cannot carry out our work properly without getting to know the school as well as we can. This is not always easy for people with busy lives, but governors are generous with their time, and the school – both staff and children – make us very welcome and involve us in what is going on.
We are always pleased to hear your comments about our school. It helps us to know what you think works well and what we can improve upon. If there is anything you would like to tell us about, please write to us via the school, or contact one of our parent governors or Julia Loizou, Chair of the Governing Body also via the school.

Parent Governors
Our Parent Governors are Vanessa Fawcett, mother of Hamish in Year 5 and Alice in Year 2. Ed Gretton, father of Rose in Year 3 and Bear in Reception.
Parent governors have an important role to play at All Saints School and they take part in all aspects of the work of the governing body provided they do not have a personal interest.
Although they are elected by parents, Parent Governors are not obliged to express any views apart from their own. However, it is important they try to represent the views of parents to the governing body, where appropriate. Please feel free to let them know your views on major issues.
How can I become a Governor?
If you’re interested in becoming a governor, talk to the Chair of Governors. When there’s a vacancy for a parent governor all parents will be informed, and you’ll have a chance to stand for election.
To find out more about what being a Governor involves, refer to the Governor’s Handbook:
