Information About Our Governors

Mrs. L. Ransley

As the Headteacher of All Souls’ Church of England Primary School, I also sit on the Governing Body. This role allows me to work closely with the Governors. I complete termly reports to governors ensuring that they are aware of achievement, progress, safeguarding and the school’s curriculum. I also share the exciting things we do as a school, as well as share with them ways in which we can improve.  I arrange monitoring visits with the governors to ensure that they have an overview of the quality of education in the school. 

Mr. B. Coultrip

I currently have three children at All Souls' Primary School. I work full time as a Senior Data Manager within the automotive industry, managing a team of data analysts. I feel the skills I have gained over the years will be beneficial in assisting the school with project management and finance.

Mrs. E. Webb

I am Lis Webb. Previously employed at All Souls' as a class teacher for the past 10 years, I am now excited to be able to take up a position as school Governor. My experience in the classroom, as well as previous governing experience (12 years at another Aquila Trust school) and also in the banking profession will enable me to ensure the holistic and spiritual growth of all pupils at All Souls'.

Mrs. H. Walker

As one of the Deputy Headteachers at All Souls’ school, I am on the Governing Body, as the staff representative. In my role, I am able to share views, concerns and achievements from the staff and support the Headteacher, while working closely with the governors to ensure the successful running of our wonderful school. Together, we aim to provide our children with the best education, and ensure our school goes from strength to strength.

Ms. K. Bennett

I am a Director Appointed Governor and began the post in September 2022. I have a background in social work and have worked with children in care for much of my career. I have worked closely with All Souls’ School previously. I now manage an adoption team. I am passionate about promoting a trauma-informed way of supporting families, and ensuring children can access opportunities in education, and support the school with safeguarding matters.
