Parent Governor Election – Ballot Now Open
Thank you to everyone who responded to our invitation for nominations for the parent governor vacancy. We are pleased to have received two nominations for the one available position.

Key Points:
-
Each parent/carer of a registered pupil at the school is entitled to one vote per vacancy.
-
Voting instructions and candidate statements are included in the ballot letter.
-
The deadline for returning your completed ballot paper is Friday 23rd October 2026, 12:00pm.
