Chorley All Saints Church Of England Primary School And Nursery Unit

Governors 

The Governing Body at All Saints' CE Primary School uses it’s collective knowledge and experience to support the school at all times. We meet every term as a Full Governing Body. We have two committees who also meet every term.  One of the committees discusses the curriculum, standards and data, whilst the other discusses school resources, premises and the welfare of staff and children.

The Governing Body has three main functions and they are:

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

We meet these functions by:

• Being a critical friend to the school, offering support and advice
• Help the school to respond to the needs of parents and the community
• We monitor and evaluate the schools progress by asking challenging questions
• Helping the school to set high standards by assisting in the planning for the school’s future and setting targets for school improvement
• To ensure there is a good quality education in order for the children to achieve the highest possible standards
• To work with the Headteacher and staff to make sure that the school is accountable. We are answerable to the parents, children and the Local Authority for the performance of the school.

The Governing Body at All Saints CE Primary School is composed of

2 Parent Governors

1 Authority Governor

Business Interest Declaration

Governor Involvement

Governors are becoming more involved not only with the school as a whole but now with individual classes . Each governor has been assigned to a class and will make regular visits to meet the class teacher and children, they will then report back to the committees sharing both successes and any questions that may have been raised. Each governor will also concentrate on a particular area that is of interest to Ofsted and again share that deeper understanding; this should enable us to be a stronger more aware Governing Body better able to take the school forward.

Governors meet regularly, we have a Resources committee for mainly buildings and finance and a Curriculum committee which looks at matters concerning teaching and learning. This is the first of what will be a regular Governors’ newsletter but in the meanwhile if you have any questions about governors or you would like more details on what we do please feel free to ask me.

Lancashire Evening Post, December 10^th 2015

Lancashire’s primary school 2015 league tables.

‘Most of the county’s primary schools are rated as good, and one way this shows in the league tables is through the value added measure. The benchmark is 100, and if a school is able to add to a child’s education, beyond his or her academic expectations, they are given a mark of more than 100.

Chorley All Saints Primary, for example, has a value added mark of 102.’

The governors would like to congratulate not only the staff but also the children past and present along with their parents and carers who have made this recent achievement possible. The school goes from strength to strength; good and outstanding teaching and strong leadership along with parental involvement and our best ever attendance figures has led to a consistent rise in standards.

Work on the new entrance is going well and should be ready for the start of the new term, it should make the start and the end of the day much safer and easier (and hopefully lead to fewer lost PE kits and jumpers.)

On behalf of the Governors, Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Gwen Barnes , Parent liaison governor
