INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION OF PARENT GOVERNORS
The School Standards
and Framework Act requires that membership of the Governing Body should
include seven elected Parent Governors. These include any individual who
at the start of their term of office is a parent or guardian of a child
in the school, but generally excludes any person who would qualify as
a governor under another category or is an employee of the local education
authority.
The seven Parent Governors currently serving are:
| Mrs Carol Acott | 7/7/03 - 6/7/07 |
| Mr Colin Cousins | 13/4/01 - 12/4/05 |
| Mr David Dunbar | 8/10/04 - 7/10/08 |
| Mrs Anne Greenhalgh | 1/10/02 - 30/9/06 |
| Mrs Madeleine Maguire | 7/7/03 - 6/7/07 |
| Mr Brian Sanders | 1/10/02 - 30/9/06 |
| Mr Tony Tucker | 1/10/02 - 30/9/06 |
The next election
of Parent Governors falls due in April 2005 when Mr Cousins completes
his term of office. Information on the election will be circulated to
all parents during the 2005 Spring term.
Governors, who fulfil an important role and often bring skills that are
valuable for both strategic planning and for addressing day-to-day issues,
meet regularly to discuss and monitor items relating to the Curriculum,
Finance, Admissions, Personnel and Premises. The Governing Body welcomes
parents with a broad range of skills and would particularly encourage
parents to consider standing for election when the opportunity arises.
Copies of a leaflet called “Shape our Future – Become a School
Governor” are available from The Department for Education and Skills
(DfES) on 020-7925-5641.
Alternatively, further information is available from the official DfES
website at www.governornet.co.uk
