Current Vacancies

Nominations are now being invited for the 2 vacant positions of Parent Governor on our school’s Governing Body.

The term of office for parent governors as determined by the governing body is 4 years. The school has high expectations of the time and commitment required from its governors in order to effectively fulfil their roles.
