Governors

THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNORS

As a member of the Ely Diocese Multi Academy Trust the school is governed by the members of the DEMAT Board. The scheme of delegation outlines the responsibility of the Local Governing Body whose current members are listed below.

The Local Governing Body take overall policy decisions about how the school is run. They meet once each half term, occasionally more often. The Local Governing Body meets all requirements regarding

Statutory Policies, all of which can be obtained from the school office on request.  These include the school policies on Safeguarding and Child Protection, Sex and Health Education, and Accessibility and Disability Discrimination.

The Local Governing Body operates a system of committees to make

 it easier to deal with some things in greater detail.  These

are for Finance, Curriculum, Personnel and Premises. We also have a committee of Governors who focus on the Spiritual and Christian development of our children. Committees also meet each half term.  

School Governors have legal duties, powers and responsibilities for the school buildings, staff and pupils.  They work together

and they cannot act individually.

When complete the Local Governing Body is constituted as follows; Head Teacher, Ex-Officio (Vacancy), two elected staff members, two elected parent members and up to eight other Governors.

 The Local Governing Bodies of both Anthony Curton and Tilney All Saints have decided to form a joint Local Governing Body.

 Andy Laughton - Chair of Governors
