Who appoints foundation governors?
Since the 1944 Education Acts, successive governments have recognized the responsibilities of the trustees of Church schools to ensure that the long-term future of Church school education is secure. The trustees of Church in Wales schools in this diocese are the Diocesan Board of Finance and the Endowed Schools Committee. They have the legal right to appoint foundation governors to our schools, but this right has been delegated to the Diocesan Education Team, which is the Diocesan Education Authority. The Education Team appoints foundation governors for a period of four years after consultation with the Parochial Church Council of the parish in which the school is sited.
