We want to encourage parents to be able to involve themselves in the work of the school. Being part of the Governing Body is a very importnat way that you can be involved. when a vacancy for parents exists why not try being a governor? You can always help with a particular aspect of School.
The Governing Body will provide information to parents on its work at least once a year. |
