Carly Jones
Hi, I’m Carly Jones, Chair of Governors. I’ve been a Governor for over 5 years and Chair since 2021. I work for Leeds City Council in HR. I have worked with communities in a professional or voluntary capacity since university, where I studied Law.
I am a mother of 3 and adore spending time with my family- which includes our dogs, cats and chickens. We love walking, baking, crafts and movie time together. I am passionate about nature and enjoy gardening, yoga and art.

Matthew Shires
I am Assistant Headteacher at St Michael’s in Wakefield, which is also part of Enhance Academy Trust. In addition to teaching Year 1 I also lead on Early English and Phonics.
Prior to this role I taught and lead at two other trust schools, St Helen’s and Diamond Wood. I was also a staff governor at the latter.
Before Enhance I taught across various KS2 settings for ten years. It’s a great privilege to be on the LAB for Featherstone All Saints, helping to shape and drive the school and community forward.
Claire Saxton
Hi, my name is Mrs Saxton. I am a teacher at another school in our Trust (St Helen’s Primary School in Hemsworth). I work in EYFS and love playing outside with the children, I can often be found having fun in the water area!
I have two grown-up children of my own. Matthew is at University and Mollie has just finished her A Levels and hoping to go to University in September. In our free time we love to go to Center Parcs and places which are not too busy … I don’t really like loud and busy places. Mr Saxton always has the job of driving us as I don’t like driving to places I don’t know!
I am a new Governor this year and I’m looking forward to meeting more of you in school.
Philip Burton
I joined both Enhance academies trust and Featherstone All Saints in April 2023, having taken my first step into headship.
I have worked in a number of primary schools over my career in teaching in different areas of Wakefield and Leeds, with some of my career being a valuable experience working in Alternative Provision.
I am passionate about ensuring the best possible outcomes for all pupils and will work closely with the local academy board, leaders, teachers, parents and pupils, to ensure that happens.
