Working as a Parent Governor has
been a great experience for me.
If you can consider for a moment the
education I had, (or lack off education I should say), it would have been
unimaginable for me to even think I’d ever be in a position to influence the
decision making process of a school. And if someone had suggested back then
that I’d be sat with other governors discussing school finance, then I think I would
have laughed them out of town.
How times change?
So what do School Parent Governors
Do?
All Governors along with senior teaching
staff are there to ensure the school is run as smoothly as possible and to deal
with any issues that may arise.
E.g. Yesterdays’ meeting was on
finance and we get the opportunity to look at all aspects of the school budget
and look at areas that may need additional spend as well as areas where we can
save money. Every penny spent is scrutinised to ensure we get the most bang for
our buck as they say.
To know that I can now pay back
to our local community in a tangible way
is very rewarding, and although it’s a team effort and my personal
contributions is small, the fact that I can play some part is still very
rewarding.
