Parent Governor Nomination Form

Nominations are invited no later than Monday 15th December (12 noon) for the election of a Parent Governor to serve on our school's Governing Body. Please complete the attached form and return to school, either by email to Mrs Poole (headteacher@admin.mabscross.wigan.sch.uk) or in an envelope at the school office. The term of office will be for four years commencing from the date the result of the election is declared.

Candidates must be a parent or have parental responsibility for a registered pupil in attendance at the school on the day the nomination forms are distributed and who is willing to accept appointment if elected. Anyone who is an elected member of the Wigan Council or works at the school for more than 500 hours in any school year, is not eligible to stand for election as a Parent Governor. Nominations may be made by parents of registered pupils at the school (this should not be the nominee).

In the event of a contested election a secret ballot will be held and candidates should submit with this nomination form a written statement of no more than 150 words in support of his/her nomination, which will be circulated at this time. Successful candidates will on appointment be required to complete a DBS check.
