Parent Governor Elections
We are currently running parent governor elections. The election will be carried out via an online, secure, secret ballot. The link to the ballot page and details of how to vote will be sent by email to all parents / cares who are registered with parental responsibility and have an email addressed saved on their school record. If you do not receive an email once the ballot opens and you believe that you should have been, please contact the school office.
If you do not have internet access, the school office will be able to help you to participate. Every parent or carer of a child at Haberdashers’ Slade Green Primary has one vote in the election, regardless of how many children they have in the school.
