School Staff
Parent Governors
Parents are elected by a ballot open to all parents of students at the school (1 ballot paper per family). The ballot paper is sent to the family and a brief account from each person standing is available.
LEA Governors
The Leading party of the local authority has the power to appoint one local authority governor, invariably from that particular party. If a new party takes over, the new party has the right to appoint a different person from their own party, if they so wish.
Foundation Governors
Foundation Governors are people nominated by the school / governors. Often they are people who have previously been Parent Governors or LEA Governors; sometimes they are former students of the school. Ideally three of the Foundation Governors should be Foundation Parent Governor (who have or have had children at the school, or have children at other schools but of the relevant age).
The nominations are put to the Trustees for agreement at a Board meeting.
Once voted in or nominated the Governor will serve a four year term of office.
The number of governors can vary, dependent on the school governors Instrument of Government (which is signed off by the Local Authority). In a Voluntary Aided School, the number of Foundation Governors always forms a majority.
