Meadows Primary School

Who are the Governors?

The Governing Board is made up of 10 volunteers, drawn from different parts of the school community, to ensure that a sufficient diversity of views and experience is represented:

  • Parent governors are selected by election and are drawn from parents and carers of pupils at the school.
  • Staff governors are selected by election from teaching and support staff paid to work at the school.
  • Local Authority governors are appointed by the governing body, following an application to become a school governor to the LA.
  • Co-opted governors are appointed by the governing body because they have particular skills or experience.

Apart from the Head Teacher who will be a governor for as long as they are at the school, all other governors serve for a term of four years. A governor may serve for more than one term.
