Our Governors

Mrs Ann Tann - Chair

Safeguarding and Foundation Diocese

I have been a school governor for about 30 years, first as a teacher and deputy head, where I was the staff representative and then as headteacher of a local primary school. I have been associated with All Saints for about 15 years working with colleagues and, since my retirement, I feel privileged to continue that association as a governor. I am passionate about getting the best outcomes for the children in our care, both academically and pastorally to develop confident, happy and well rounded children.

Mrs Ann Gunn

Foundation Diocese

Having spent her career in Primary Education, Ann brings a huge wealth of experience to the Governing Body. She has been a governor in a variety of primary schools for 20 years, and retired from school headship in 2019, taking up the mantle of Local Authority Governor at All Saints in 2020.

She is keen to positively contribute to school life as we look ahead to future opportunities, and to support All Saints’ staff in continuing to provide the very best education for each child.

I live locally with my family in Farnham. Professionally I have amassed seventeen years of teaching in Early Years, Key Stage 1 and 2 in a range of schools.  Prior to joining All Saints I was a successful year leader in a Surrey Primary School for 6 years.  I am passionate about children’s education.
