Parent Governor Elections Process

Election of two parents to serve on the Governing Body of The Avon Valley School for 4 years

Following the recent request for applications in respect of 2 vacancies for Parent Governors, the following applications have been received from parents wishing to serve as Parent Governor on the school’s Governing Body for a period of 4 years., 4 nominations were received.

Ms Devenne Kedward

Mr Danny Ahern

Mr Gary Poppitt

Ms Eleanor Bates

As there are more nominations than vacancies, we will be holding a secret ballot.

A letter containing the election statements of the 4 candidates and a ballot paper will be coming home with students, and is also available from the letters home page.  If parents do not live at the same address as the student, a copy of the letter and ballot paper will be posted to them.

Each parent may record up to two votes for the candidates of their choice.  You may not vote twice for the same candidate or vote for more than two candidates. 

Ballot papers should be returned to school sealed in a blank envelope.  The blank envelope, should then be put into the A5 envelope clearly marked with the voter’s name and ‘Parent Governor Election – Ballot Paper’, by post, or sent in with a student at the school.

Votes must be received by 3.30pm on Thursday 19th June.  Any votes received after this time will not be counted.

The counting of votes will take place on Friday 20th June.  Parents will be informed of the results as soon as possible after that date.
