Decision details

The function of the nomination of school governors to maintained schools and academies is delegated to County Local Committees (CLCs) as it enables county councillors to maintain a valuable link with the schools and helps promote to the wider public the important role of school governors.

Under the Education Act 2011 local authority governors are nominated by the local authority but appointed by the governing body. The CLC can nominate any eligible person as a local authority governor, but it is for the governing body to decide whether their nominee has the skills to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school and meets any other eligibility criteria they have set.

At its meeting on 25 June 2019 the North Mid Sussex County Local Committee approved the following nomination under the 2012 Regulations:

Nomination for reappointment:

• Nick Hodges to St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, East Grinstead for a further four year term.

The call-in deadline is 3 July 2019.
