The school is part of the Diocese of Coventry Multi Academy Trust and the Academy Governance Committee (AGC) is part of the governance structure of the Trust which is responsible for overseeing strategic decisions of the school. The governance structure for the trust as a whole is outlined in the governance structure documents here.

As an Academy Governance Committee we work in close partnership with the Headteacher and senior leadership team to ensure the best quality education is provided to every child. It is our responsibility to support, challenge, ask questions and ultimately represent the school community. The Academy Governance Committee acts as a ‘critical friend’ to the senior leadership team, questioning and challenging decisions in a constructive and professional way.

Academy Governance Committees have key roles in relation to: providing support, monitoring and challenge around educational experience and performance; church, community and stakeholder engagement and supporting alignment with Trust strategy, approach, ethos and values. The AGC Members meet regularly, visit the school when possible and during special events. As a team, we are able to support the school to function well and strive to provide a high standard of education.

As a Church of England Academy (part of the Diocese of Coventry Multi-Academy Trust) all the AGC Members support the school in being a place of inclusive welcome and education for everyone.

All Saints’ CofE Academy and Burton Green CofE Academy have one shared Academy Governance Committee known as the Green Leek AGC.

I live in Leek Wootton and worship at All Saints’ Church. As a retired Primary School teacher, I believe I can take on the role of Foundation governor with some understanding. I have also previously been a teacher governor for a number of years. Since retiring I continued to work alongside children by volunteering in schools to listen to readers and helping at church holiday club. My two children both attended the old village school and my younger son was in the cohort that entered the new school in 1996. I have taught in both modern and Victorian school buildings and understand the issues arising in adapting to the demands of a 21^stcentury curriculum. I appreciate the family feel that makes a school, such as All Saints’ and Burton Green, a welcome and nurturing environment

Jenny Mayhew - Staff AGC Member

I joined All Saints’ C of E Academy, initially as a Supply Teacher in 2019, after relocating from Tunbridge Wells in Kent where I had been a Headteacher. I am now one of the Year 6 teachers and RE leader at All Saints’.

I spent most of my teaching career in South-East London and Kent after graduating from Greenwich University as a teacher. I then spent a number of years developing my skills and knowledge within various schools in London before gaining further qualifications in school leadership and becoming a Deputy Head. In 2016, I was appointed Headteacher of an expanding primary school in Bromley, London before moving onto a headship of a 3FE school in Pembury, Kent.

I enjoy my current role hugely and consider it a privilege to support and encourage the personal and academic progress of children as I help them prepare for the next step in their education as they go off to the various secondary schools. In my current role of RE leader, I am developing the school’s RE curriculum that follows the 2024 Warwick and Coventry Syllabus, and supporting the Head of School to develop the role children have in our Worship and with their understanding of spirituality.

My knowledge and experience of school leadership and management will enable me to work alongside the rest of the Governing Board to challenge and support the school’s continued improvement as a staff governor.
