All Saints' Church of England Primary School

Who's Who

The present All Saints Governing Body

The new governing body of All Saints has 16 governor places. There are different categories of governors:

Elected Governors

At All Saints we have 2 elected parent governors, chosen by parents after a ballot where every parent can vote. In October 2012, there were 2 parent governor vacancies. Two nominations were received and therefore there was no need to have elections. The next time to elect parent governors will be October 2016.

The elected parent governors are Ayshea Hay and Milen Bennett.

Elected Teaching Staff Governor

At All Saints we have 1 elected teacher governor. In October 2012 there was 1 vacancy. As there was only 1 nomination there was no need to have an election. The next time to elect a teacher governor is October 2016.

The elected teacher governor is Chantal Doffoh.

Foundation Governors

6 Foundation governors are chosen by the Church Council of All Saints Church and another 2 are chosen by the Anglican (Church of England) Diocese of Southwark. They have a particular duty to ensure that the school maintains its "distinctive Christian ethos.” In July the Church Council elected 6 governors to serve until July 2016.

Our foundation governors are: Naureen Davies; Esther Akinmade; Jesse Nderitu; Stephen Sin; Stella Onwu and Chris Chikwendu.

The Diocese chose Jennifer Brown and Arthur Williams to serve until September 2016.

Ex-officio Governors

There are 2 Ex-officio Governors. They are the Head Teacher of All Saints Church of England Primary School and the Minister of All Saints Church. The personnel for these positions only change if the people occupying those posts change.

Presently our ex-officio governors are Jane Elliott, Head Teacher and Father Leonard Marsh, minister of All Saints Church.

Local Authority Governor

This post is chosen by Croydon Local Authority to represent their support of the school. The person who holds this position holds it for 4 years.

Shelisha Bent is the present local authority governor.

Co-opted Governors

At All Saints we have 2 co-opted governors. These were co-opted by the rest of the governing body who chose people who would increase the skills and the representation of the school community. In 2012 the governors co-opted Marilyn Kingsley who is a former parent and former chair and Christine Kent to represent the support staff of the school. They will serve for a period of 4 years.

Associate Governors

These are governors approved by the governing body to broaden its skills and expertise. Presently we have 1 associate governor, Grace Marriott.
