Parent Governor Election – Nominations Now Open
We are inviting nominations for the role of Parent Governor on our Governing Board. Parent Governors play a vital role in helping to ensure the school is well led and continues to meet the needs of all pupils.
This is a fantastic opportunity for parents and carers to contribute to the strategic direction of the school and make a real difference to our school community.
If you are interested in standing for election, please read the attached letter for further information about the role and election process. To put yourself forward, simply complete the nomination form and return it by the deadline stated in the letter.
We encourage all parents and carers to consider this rewarding opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact the school office or the Clerk to Governors.
Please see the attached letter and nomination form for full details and information on how to apply.
Our Governors are elected to serve a four-year term. Governors, including the Chair of Governors and the Governance Professional, can be contacted at any time through the normal school contact routes.
