Anthem Community Council
As part of a multi-academy trust, our school is not restricted to the traditional model of local governance that most people are familiar with.
Society is changing, and our governance structures need to change with it. Anthem is leading the way by launching a completely new kind of governance across its 16 schools with local views, experiences, and expertise at its heart.
You can find out more about the strategy on the Anthem website.
The name for our local layer of governance is Anthem Community Councils (ACCs). Members of our ACCs are known as Anthem Community Council members (ACCms).
The ACC has four delegated areas of responsibility:
- Community
- Celebration
- Send, inclusion and safeguarding
- Panels
Each ACC includes ACCms who are Champions in key areas such as safeguarding, SEND and inclusion, and climate change. Our ACCms ensure the voices of students, parents/carers, staff and the community are heard and considered throughout the school and Trust.
The current members of our ACC are:
| Name | Position | Appointed | Interests declared |
|---|---|---|---|
| Susannah Daniel | Headteacher | N/A | Staff member |
| Liz Kenny | ACC Chair | October 2017 | Self-employed photographer, providing school photography that is sold to parents for individual and class photographs. |

Susannah Daniel: Headteacher
Susannah is our Headteacher as well as one of our ACC members. She has been in education for 28 years and been a headteacher for 21 of those. She is passionate about ensuring children get the best experience they can whilst at All Saints - socially, emotionally, and academically. She wants them to leave at the end of Year 6 not only ready for the next stage of their journey but with strong core values, a love a learning and an understanding of the importance of their role as a global citizen.

Liz is Chair of the ACC and has been an active member of the school community since 2012. She is Mum to two boys, both of whom attended All Saints Junior School. Liz acted as co-chair of the PTA for All Saints Infants School from 2015 to 2017. Her background is in Speech and Language Therapy, but she changed careers 15 years ago to fulfil her dream role as a Professional Photographer - she’ll be the one holding the camera on school photo day!
