Schools</u></strong></p><p><strong><em>What is a Foundation Governor?</em></strong></p><p>Foundation Governors are a Christian presence on the governing body of a Church of England School.  They have the same duties and responsibilities as other school governors but, in addition, they are charged with ensuring that the school's ethos, distinctiveness and effectiveness as a Church School is maintained and developed.  Foundation Governors represent the interests of the Church locally in the school and school in the local Church; as such they are a vital community link.</p><p>To read more about the ethos and distinctiveness of a Chuch School follow this link: <a id="insertedpdf_201_2" href="pdf_view.php?id=201">Church School ethos and distinctiveness</a></p><p>Training is provided for new Foundation Governors on a regular basis.  See the <a id="insertedpage_116_1" href="page.php?i_@EF_116">Events</a> page for details.</p><p><strong><em>How is a Foundation Governor appointed?</em></strong></p><p>Every school has an ‘Instrument of Government' which sets out the size and composition of the governing body. Copies of these ‘Instruments' can be obtained from the Diocesan Board of Education or from the schools themselves.   In the case of Foundation Governors the instrument specifies how many Foundation Governors there should be and the method by which they are to be appointed.  </p><p><a id="insertedpdf_136_3" href="pdf_view.php?id=136">Governors nomination form</a></p><p>If you would like to know more about the role of a Foundation Governor you will find helpful information on the following websites:</p><p>National Association for School Governors: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243/http://www.nasg.org.uk/">http://www.nasg.org.uk/</a> </p><p>The National Society for Promoting Religious Education: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243/http://www.natsoc.org.uk/schools/management">www.natsoc.org.uk/schools/management</a> </p>  <div id="addit"><script type="text/javascript">var addthis_brand = "Diocese of Lincoln"; var addthis_header_color = "#000000"; var addthis_header_background = "#f6fff7"; var addthis_options = 'digg, delicious, linkedin, google, facebook, twitter, email, more';</script> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243im_/http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243js_/http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4c4d62624de20c41"></script></div> </div>  </div>  <p style="clear:both; font-size:.1em; line-height:0px; margin:12px;"> </p> <div id="site_info"> <a href="/web/20110925025243/http://www.lincoln.anglican.org/sitemap.php">Site Map</a> | <a href="/web/20110925025243/http://www.lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CC_46">Vacancies</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110925025243/http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/section.asp?sectiontype=topic&catid=22003" target="_blank">Family History Information</a> | <a href="/web/20110925025243/http://www.lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CI_74">Contact Us</a><br/> ©2011 The Diocese of Lincoln</div>  <br/> <br/> </div>  <div id="reflection"><img src="/web/20110925025243im_/http://www.lincoln.anglican.org/g_lib/fade_bottom2010.png" alt="" width="971" height="100"/></div> </body> </html>
