We currently have a vacancy for a parent governor.
Dear Parent/Carer
The Governing Body has vacancies for a Parent Governor. Governors play a key role in the school working as a team to provide support and challenge whilst at the same time influencing strategies. We are hoping that parents will nominate themselves or others and help us by contributing ideas and influencing decision making.
The Governing Body is made up of parents, teachers and other members of the community. Every term the Governing Body meets to support the work of the school, and together with the headteacher is responsible for making sure that the school provides a good standard of education for pupils not just academically but also spiritually, emotionally and morally.
If you are interested in becoming a Governor and would like further information about what it involves then please contact the school office to arrange an informal meeting.
Kind regards
Tom Cutbertson
Headteacher
Cockton Hill Infants’ School
