Foundation governors have a particular responsibility for the preservation and development of the Anglican character of the school. They need to consider how well the Instrument of Government is known to staff and governors, how well the Ethos Statement is known, and where reference may be found to it around the school and in documentation. All governors, but especially foundation governors need to ensure that the Ethos Statement is upheld in the life and work of the school.

If you feel that you could give some of your time and talents to become part of a team committed to securing high quality education for children in a Church school, why not explore this exciting and rewarding work further? Foundation governors are the ‘formal Christian presence’ on the governing body and uphold the religious foundation of the school. For more information about becoming a foundation governor please contact Liane Atkin, Assistant Director of Education, Church House, St John's Terrace, North Shields, NE29 6HS.
