Parent Governor Vacancy

By Mr S Fritze7th October 2015

The Governing Body of Marden High School has 2 vacancies for Parent Governors, and applications are currently being invited.

Various categories of Governors make up the Governing Body of the school, and whilst they represent different groups of people, they all have equal status and all have something to offer to the successful running of the school.

Governors have wide ranging collective responsibilities and their roles are both challenging and rewarding.  Every Governor has something personal to contribute to the decisions which are made and there is a lot of satisfaction to be gained from meeting with other enthusiasts and from helping a school to do the best it can for its students.

Being a Parent Governor gives you an opportunity to contribute to the education of all children at Marden High School.  Training and support is provided by both the school and by the LA.

A term of office for Parent Governors at Marden High School is four years and all parents/guardians of registered pupils at the school are eligible to stand for election.
