Dear Parent

NOTICE OF PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTION AND REQUEST FOR NOMINATIONS

I am writing to invite parents, guardians and carers of registered pupils to put their names forward for election to serve as parent governors of this school.  There is 2 vacancies.

Please read the notes on the back of this letter and if, after doing so, you would like to put your name forward as a candidate please contact Miss Osman (Headteacher) who will send you a Candidate Nomination Form. You will then need to complete the Candidate Nomination Form (Form 2) and the Disqualification Declaration Form (Form 3) and return them to me by 21st April 2023. It may be that you would wish to propose another parent to serve as a parent governor.  Please note that in this case the parent in question should complete the nomination form after you have discussed the possibility.

Candidates need to submit a personal statement in support of their nomination, not more than 500 words giving: 

• Evidence of skills and experience the governing body desires.
• And / or their commitment to undertake training to acquire or develop skills to be an effective governor
• If seeking re-election details of their contribution to the work of the GB during previous term of office.
• How they plan to contribute to the future work of the GB

They may not indicate that they are endorsed or supported by any particular group. 

Only parents who now have and will have children registered at the school on 05/09/2022 are eligible to stand for election.

If it is necessary for there to be an election, I will provide further details of the arrangements.

Yours sincerely

Kirsty Osman

Headteacher
