Parent Governor Vacancy

We didn't receive any nominations during our recent parent governor election process in January so we are actively looking for parent governors and community governors to fill vacancies on the board. 

Please see the flyer below which gives some general information about the roles.  There is also more information on the other pages in the Governors section of our website.  

Interested? 

If you are interested in the role of either a parent or community governor, please read the information below 'Could you become a governor?' which gives more information.  Please also read the important information on 'Eligibility' which outlines the circumstances under which someone cannot serve as a governor.

Being a governor is a voluntary role.  It can be enjoyable, challenging and rewarding and our governors have a real part to play in making our school successful and supporting our children to Aspire, Achieve, Thrive.  No special qualifications are needed and the most important thing is to have a keen interest in the school and be prepared to play an active part in the governing body’s work.  However, at this time we would particularly welcome knowledge or experience in the education or early years sector, human resources or data analysis.

Only parents or individuals exercising parental responsibility of a child registered at the school are eligible to become a parent governor.  All governor appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check. 

If you would like to find out more about the role of being a governor, please email Diane Dakin, the clerk to the governors, at ddakin@sawley-inf.derbyshire.sch.uk or telephone the school office and leave your contact details and we will get back to you.
