PARENT GOVERNOR VACANCIES

 

Please note that there is to be an election of Parent Governors as we have two vacancies for parent governors. The work of College Governors is very important and affects most aspects of our work. Governors establish, with the Headteacher, aims for the College, approve policies – such as for the curriculum, behaviour and discipline, are responsible for the College budget and the use and maintenance of the premises. More generally, governors are expected to be in touch with the local community and to help guide the College to meet the community’s educational needs. They are expected to help the College to explain to the community what it is trying to achieve for their children. Parent Governors have a four year term of office and continue to serve even if their child(ren) leaves the College during this period. Please click here to find out more.
