Dear Parent/Guardian
A vacancy has arisen for a parent governor to serve on our school’s governing body. We are keen to encourage parents to consider taking on this role.
Before you decide to nominate someone, or indeed yourself, you may want to know more about what is involved. The role of a parent governor and the rules governing your eligibility to stand for election is attached for your information.
Nominations are invited from parents for this vacant position. If you wish to nominate any parent, or be nominated yourself, you can collect a nomination form from the school office. Forms must be fully completed and returned to the school office (for the attention of Mrs Humphreys) by no later than 12 noon on Wednesday 4th March 2026. Nominations received after this date and time will be invalid. A nominee must state on the form his/her willingness to stand for election.
If there are more nominations than vacancies then a ballot will be held and all candidates will be asked to submit a brief personal statement (no more than 150 words). Ballot papers will be despatched on Friday 6th March 2026 and must be returned by 12 noon on Thursday 12th March 2026 at the latest. Ballot papers received after the closing date will not be counted. Ballot papers will be counted at 1pm on Thursday 12th March 2026.
The term of office of a parent governor is four years from the date of appointment. A parent governor is not disqualified from continuing in office should his or her child leave the school before the end of the four year period.
Regards
Mrs N Booth, Headteacher
