PARENT GOVERNOR Applications requested by 3pm on Friday 28 February 2025 |
The role of a Governor
All our Governors are volunteers who play a hugely valuable role in bringing their own experience from work, public service and the community to the academy. To be a Governor you should have:
- good interpersonal skills;
- curiosity and a willingness to learn and develop new skills;
- the ability to maintain confidentiality at all times and understand the distinction between the roles of parent/carer and Governor.
The key qualifications for the role are the ability to consider data and reports, listen, think and ask questions, combined with a strong commitment towards supporting great quality education and improving outcomes for young people and particularly Warden Park Primary Academy’s pupils. All Governors have the same overall roles and responsibilities (further details are set out in the attached governor role description). However, as a parent/carer-nominated Governor, you would also play a vital role in ensuring that the WPPA LGB is connected with, and is aware of, the views of parents/carers and the local community.
The WPPA LGB has 12 members and meets formally once every half term (with occasional additional meetings on notice). Meetings are generally held in the late afternoons (usually starting at 4.30pm on Thursdays) and typically last a maximum of two hours. In addition governors have delegated lead Link Governor roles and will need to arrange calls or visits in fulfilling their Link Governor functions. In addition to attending LGB meetings and Link Governor meetings, Governors need to devote time to reading papers in preparation for meetings, to report on any delegated areas of responsibility and attend occasional events and meetings in the academy. Although this time commitment is flexible we would expect governors to be able to visit or meet on site during academy hours from time to time.
How to apply
We really hope you are interested in applying for the role. All parents and carers of current Warden Park Primary Academy pupils have the right to:
- stand for election or to nominate someone else; and
- if more than one candidate stands, to vote in the election.
Governors serve a term of office of four years (this can exceed the period that you have a pupil remaining in the academy). To apply to become a parent Governor and stand for election, please:
- complete the candidate form attached to this letter, including the candidate statement (maximum 200 words) explaining what you could bring to the role and why you are interested in it. In the event of a ballot, the candidate statement will be made available to other parents/carers when voting.
- ask two (unrelated) parents/carers to complete and countersign your nomination form
- please return the form by 3pm on Friday 28 February 2025:
- via email to the clerk at wppaclerk@sussexlearningtrust.
co.uk ; or - by post or by hand to reception at Warden Park Primary Academy in an envelope addressed to “Mrs Andrea Barrett, Clerk to the WPPA LGB”
- via email to the clerk at wppaclerk@sussexlearningtrust.
Successful applicants will be asked to provide two references.
If we receive more applications than there are vacancies, a secret ballot will be carried out. We will inform you closer to the time if we have to do this.
If you have any queries about this process or would like to find out more about the role, please contact Andrea Barrett (Clerk to WPPA LGB) in the first instance (wppaclerk@
