After Christmas we will have a vacancy for a parent governor on Morley’s Governing Body. In January we will be formally asking for nominations from interested parents. An election will be held if more than one parent puts themselves forward.

The role of the Governing Body is to clarify the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction, hold the head to account for the performance of the school and ensure the budget is well spent. Click here for more information about what governors do.

You don’t need to be an expert in education to become a governor. You need to have an interest in the school and welfare of our children and the time and willingness to get involved. We would be particularly interested to receive nominations from people who have experience of:

• premises or facilities management
• procurement / purchasing
• being a board member
• chairing a board, governing body or committee
• financial planning
• performance management

If you are interested in becoming a governor, please get in touch with Nicky Odgers, the chair of governors (chair@morley.cambs.sch.uk) for an informal chat to find out more about the role and the time commitment involved.
