Parent Governor Vacancy

Heartlands High School has a vacancy for one Parent Governor to join the Local Governing Committee and applications are invited for the role.  Applicants must either be a parent or a person who has parental responsibilities of a child registered at the school. 

Many thanks to our outgoing parent governor Jasmine Hyman for all her help on the Local Governing Committee.  

We want our governing committee to reflect and represent our wide and diverse communities – and welcome applications from people from every background and walk of life. We want to ensure that voices from our local communities are heard at our governing committee meetings; that the experiences, views and insight from our local communities are always part of the governing committee discussions and decisions. 

We are really keen to hear from parents and carers who have a passion and commitment for education and its power to transform lives and who would like to be part of our governing committee.

Candidates are asked to provide a short personal statement to support their application, which should be no longer than 300 words. In the event of a ballot being needed the personal statement submitted will be circulated as part of that process.
