Parent Governor Vacancies
The governing body of your child’s school has three vacancies for parent governors, one with effect from 28th September 2022, one with effect from 2nd October 2022 and one with effect from 17th October 2022, and is looking for parents who are interested in these roles. A parent governor is a person with parental responsibility for a pupil attending the school.
The role of governor is an important one, governing bodies are responsible for a variety of functions connected with the effective running of the school, including curriculum, budgeting and staffing matters. You will be supported in these duties by other experienced members of the governing body, the headteacher and the Governor Support Officer.
The Authority will provide relevant support and information. Training is provided free of charge. The Welsh Government requires all new governors to undertake Induction training and training on Use of Data within a year from their date of appointment. This is a mandatory requirement. The governing body works together as a group attending a minimum of three meetings per year. If elected you will serve for a period of four years. If your child leaves the school during this time you do not have to stand down. Should you wish to end your governorship at any time you may do so by giving written notice.
Your child will be bringing home a nomination form tonight. If you are interested in becoming a parent governor, please can you complete the form and return it to the school office by Friday 23rd September.
Before completing the form please ensure that you comply with the disqualification regulations given on the back.
