--- title: "Parent Governor Vacancy" url: "https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/news/2019-09-12-parent-governor-vacancy" school: "Longbenton High School" --- # Parent Governor Vacancy 12 September 2019 **PARENT GOVERNOR VACANCIES** The school are looking to fill two Parent Governor vacancies that have arisen on the school’s Governing Body. The role of Governor is a very interesting and rewarding one, observing how the school works, monitoring standards achieved and providing support at events and functions. The Governors meet four times a year, starting at 6pm for around two hours. In addition, various sub-committees meet, often on a termly basis and these report to the full Governing Body. The most important quality for a parent governor is enthusiasm. A governor needs to be supportive of the work of the school and be a critical friend to provide challenge and support to the headteacher and the leadership of the school. We do already have two parents who are interested in becoming a governor, but would welcome interest from others. If you would like further information on this role, please contact R Standish, Clerk to the Governors, on , to obtain an application form. The closing date for applications is **Friday 20 September 2019**.
