Parent Governor vacancy

 Our current Board of Governors is made up of various stakeholder groups including community representatives, members of staff and parents.  They all play a significant part in the strategic work of the school.  Governors have a very responsible position and contribute to school improvement.  The responsibility is considerable and involves a major commitment of time and dedication to the community.  Governors are expected to attend evening and daytime meetings each term, training courses, visit the school and play a part in the wider school community.
