We currently have vacancies on our Governing Body:

Parent Governor:

Parents/Carers of Manor Infant School will have been contacted by the school communications systems on available vacancies.

Parent governors are elected by other parents at the school. Any parent, or carer, of a registered pupil at the school at the time of election is eligible to stand for election as a parent governor. Parent governors may continue to hold office until the end of their term of office even if their child leaves the school.

Schools must make every reasonable effort to fill parent governor vacancies through elections. However, the Regulations make provision for the governing body to appoint parent governors where not enough parents stand for election. Governing bodies may only appoint as a parent governor a parent who has, in their opinion, the skills to contribute to effective governance and the success of the school.

A person is disqualified from being a parent governor if they are an elected member of the Local Authority or paid to work at the school for more than 500 hours.

Co-Opted Governor:

We have vacancies for Co-Opted Governors at the moment.

Co-opted governors are appointed by the Governing Body. They are people who in the opinion of the governing body have the skills required to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school.  This does not necessarily need to be skills and/or experience as a school governor - there a many transferable skills from everyone.

The number of co-opted governors eligible to be elected or appointed as staff governors must not, when counted with the one staff governor and the headteacher, exceed one-third of the total membership of the Governance Board.
