Membership
The current Board of Governors will serve between June 2018 and 2022.
Parent Representatives
Parent representatives are elected by parents, at meetings held for that purpose.
They must be parents of pupils attending the school at the time of their election, but if their child ceases to be a pupil of the school they may continue until the end of their term of office.
All types of people can become school governors and no specific qualifications are required. Qualities such as enthusiasm, an interest in education, commitment and some spare time are some of the most important qualities, each person will bring his/her own range of personal and life skills to the role.
Skills acquired working in business or the public sector will also be relevant to managing a school and members can use these skills as a member of the team constituting the Board of Governors. Specific skills in areas such as finance, human resources management and services for children and young people are very valuable. A Board of Governors needs a mix of ages, life skills, experiences and aspirations.
