Thorney Close Primary SchoolGoverning Body Constitution
The Governing Body is drawn from the staff of the school, the Local Education Authority, parents and the wider community that our school serves. The usual term of office is four years but many governors stand for re-election and serve more than one term.
The constitution of our Governing Body states that we should have a maximum of 13 governors as follows:
-
The Headteacher
-
One governor appointed by the Local Authority (may not be a member of staff)
-
Parent governors elected by the parents One staff governor elected by the staff
-
Governors co-opted by the Governing Body
When there is a vacancy for a parent-governor, all parents are informed, and asked if they wish to join. If there are more applicants than places, a ballot is arranged.
