Morning all,

Following on from the AGM of our Governing Body last night we have two vacancies on our Governing Body for parents/carers. This is due to terms of office ( 4 years) coming to an end.

The Governing Body works with the Headteacher to set the strategic direction of the school, monitors the school’s performance, makes decisions collectively and provides support and challenge for senior leaders.

The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and a good way to give back to your local community.

All new governors will be required to undertake training and commit to attend meetings, committees and school events.

You need to be able to respect confidentiality, work as part of a team, have a willingness to improve children’s education and a firm understanding that you are not there to represent parents, but as a member of the Governing Body who is a parent.

If you are interested you can collect a nomination form from the office.

Parents/carers who work in the school cannot be considered.

If there are more than two nominations an election will be held and all parent/carers will be given the opportunity to vote.

There will be at least one nomination from a current governor who serves as a community governor but wishes to move over to parent governor role. There are however two vacancies.

Nominations close on Friday 29th of September.

If you would like any more information, or have questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kindest regards,

Mrs Robbins
