How do I become a parent governor?
If your child attends a school, you can be elected as a parent governor by the Parents/Carers. Schools organise these elections, and inform Parents/Carers and staff about them. You can also become a governor by approaching the school to see if they will co-opt you or by asking the local authority, church or foundation if they would appoint you.
