Our Co-opted Governors

Co-opted governors are appointed by the governing board.  They are people who, in the opinion of the governing board, have the skills and experience required to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school.

Our Staff and Local Authority Governors

A local authority governor is nominated by the local authority to the governing board, but it is for the governing board to agree whether to appoint them.  A local authority governor is a representative of the local authority.  The role of a local authority governor is the same as any other governor, including providing a local authority viewpoint and they should participate in the same way as other governors.

Teaching and support staff who are employed by either the board or local authority to work at the school under a contract of employment, at the time of election, are eligible to stand for election to the governing board.  Staff governors are not a spokesperson for the views of all staff, but to provide a 'staff viewpoint'.

Term Dates and Pecuniary Interests

The current term for a governor at Fulfen Primary School is four years.  A governor can choose to leave during this time if they wish.  When a term ends, to continue serving on the board, they must be voted back on either by the board, for co-opted governors, or by the parents, for parent governors.

Pecuniary interests must be declared if a governor stands to profit personally, or someone they are linked with will profit, from a decision of the governing board.  Both direct and indirect interests must be declared.
