Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)

We have a vacancy for a parent governor which we need to fill as soon as possible.  Oakridge Parochial School has always aimed for a partnership with parents which undoubtedly brings great benefits to the children. One of the most significant ways you can help in promoting this aim is to volunteer to be a parent governor. The governing body’s main tasks are to support the school, ensure that pupils receive high quality education and plan for future development and improvement.

Parent governors are welcomed as valued members of the team and play a vital role in the successful working of a governing body.

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.

If you are interested in becoming a governor, contact the school office with your nomination (Self nomination is acceptable), which will need to be with the school by 12.00 noon on Wednesday 20th January 2010. (Please obtain your nominees consent)

The guidelines giving full details about how vacancies are filled can be obtained from the school office. You might also like to look at the information for prospective governors on the Gloucestershire County Council website .  Please note that for the protection of children all governor appointments are subject to a vetting process and identity check.

If there are more nominations than vacancies, an election will be held on Friday 29th January 2010 and you will be sent a voting paper. You may return the ballot paper either via your child or by post.
