Dear Parents and Carers

The Governing Body has a vacancy for a Parent Governor. Governors play a key role in the school, working as a team to provide support and challenge, and influencing strategies.

We are hoping that parents will nominate themselves or others and help us by contributing ideas and influencing decision-making.

Outlines of procedures for nominations are set out in the attached documents, but please contact school directly to talk informally about being a School Governor.

The Governing Body is made up of parents/carers, teachers and other members of the community. Every half-term, the Governing Body meets to support the work of the school, and together with the Headteacher, are responsible for making sure that the school provides a good standard of education for learners.

If you would like to become a Governor, or to put forward the name of another parent/carer who is willing to stand, please complete the nomination paper attached.

Candidates are also asked to make themselves known to other parents by writing a short letter, something about themselves and what they would hope to do for the school if elected (no more than 150 words).
