How are governors chosen?
There are different categories of Governors:
Parent Governors, Staff Governors and Governors.
Parent Governors are elected by current parents when a vacancy becomes available
Staff governors, are representatives of the teaching staff or support staff & are elected by the eligible staff when a vacancy becomes available.
Governors are appointed by the Local Governing Body.
They are selected to provide any skills and experience which Governors feel are required.
The Chair of the Local Governing Body will always be appointed by the Nexus Multi Academy Trust Board.
All governors initially serve for a period of four years. At the end of the four years, they can stand for re-election or be re-appointed. Governors are free to resign before the end of their four year term if they
so wish.
