Parent Governor Election Nomination Form

Dear Parent or Carer

PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTION

There are currently one vacancy for parent governors on our school’s governing body and I am writing to invite nominations to fill this vacancy. Please think about becoming a governor, or encouraging others to volunteer.

Parent governors are welcomed as valued members of the governor team and play an important role; the governing body works together as a group, meeting at least once every half term. Together they are responsible for the strategic direction of the school, promoting high standards of educational achievement and ensuring our resources are used to maximum impact. Life as a governor is interesting and varied and we feel sure that there are parents prepared to take on this important role and give their time and commitment to helping us to continue to improve the school's performance.

In looking to fill these vacancies the governors of the school have identified the following skills, experience and attributes that they feel would help strengthen the governing body:

Knowledge of curriculum, management skills, IT skills, finance, including budget monitoring, monitoring and evaluating school performance, setting strategic direction.

Training and support will be available to help you develop into the role. This will include in-house mentoring and support as well as access to external governor training, those new to being a governor are expected to attend induction training.

The term of office for parent governors is 4 years.

For further information about the role please get in touch with e.benson@adamsrill.lewisham.sch.uk who will be happy to help.

If you would like to stand for election please complete and sign this form no later than 12 noon on Monday 13th February 2023.

If you wish you can include a few details about yourself and why you would like to become a governor (not exceeding 100 words). This will then be circulated to all parents to help them decided who to vote for if an election is required. You do not have to complete this section, but if you don’t you may put yourself at a disadvantage if there is an election.

An election, by secret ballot, will be held if more nominations are received than the number of vacancies. If an election is needed details of the procedure will be sent to all parents.

Nominations must be from parents or carers with children at the school on the day that nominations close.
