Dear Parents

Election of Parent Governor – Bourne Community College

Every maintained school in England has a Governing Body responsible to the local community for running the school. There is currently a vacancy for a Parent Governor at this school. The term of office will be 4 years.

If you are interested in standing for election as a Parent governor of the school, please complete the attached nomination form ensuring that you obtain the signature of 2 parents/legal guardians who support your nomination. You must also include a brief election statement. If 2 or more nominations are received, I shall send all parents voting papers, which will include the candidates’ election statements.

Nominations to the governing body should be returned by

9.00am on Monday 14 October 2024.

In the event of a ballot I will arrange for the votes to be counted at a time mutually agreed with all candidates, and each candidate, or his/her authorised representative, may attend the count. I shall arrange for all parents to be notified of the result.

I have enclosed an extract from the regulations concerning the qualifications and disqualifications connected with the office of governor, which you should read carefully. If you have any queries about them or the procedure, I shall be pleased to answer them.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs A Sharma
