Notice of Parent Governor Election

Dear Parents,

The Education Act of 2002 provides that:

• The conduct of a maintained school should be under the direction of the school’s Governing Body.
• The Governing Body shall conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.

There is a place on our Governing Body for one Parent Governor. Parent Governors are elected by the parents of pupils currently attending the school and nursery to serve a four year term of office. If you would like to be considered for this vacancy please contact the school office for a nomination form. You can also download the form from our website www.sjps.lancs.sch.uk – Letters/Newsletters – Letters/Forms.

Further information regarding the role of Governor and Disqualification Criteria are also available on the website and must be read prior to submitting a nomination form.

The timetable for the election is:

1. Nomination forms to be returned to me by 12 noon on Friday 2^nd October. Please return in a sealed envelope to the school office.
2. Should we receive more than one nomination, ballot papers will be sent to all parents on Wednesday 7^th October 2020.
3. If we only receive one nomination the nominated person will become a Governor on 3rd October 2020.

If you would like any more information about being a Governor please contact me and I will be happy to have a chat with you.          

Yours faithfully,

Mrs C Monaghan

Headteacher
