Parent Governor Elections

For all Catholic Aided Schools in the Liverpool Diocese, the period of office for Parent Governors is four years.

MrsRizpah Conlon was the elected Parent Governor at St Peter’s School for four years; however we have recently received her resignation as a Governor at St. Peter’s due to family commitments. Therefore, we are seeking to appoint a new Parent Governor.

Mrs Conlon has been a Parent Governor at St. Peter’s for just over 2 years and we would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for her support during this time.

Any parent, or Guardian, with a child at the school will be able to nominate, second, or stand for election and we hope that parents will consider candidature as the Parent Governor of St. Peter’s School.

If you would like any information about the role of the Governing Body and the valuable work they undertake, any of the existing Governors would be happy to talk to you.

Details are enclosed of the forthcoming election, together with a nomination paper. Nominations are invited and should be returned to the school by FRIDAY, 17THMARCH 2017, in an envelope addressed to Mrs Val McCowen, the Returning Officer, and marked:

“Nomination Paper – Parent Governor Elections”

Yours sincerely,

H Lea
