Governor Information
When a vacancy for a Parent Governor occurs, parents may stand for election. There are 2 Parent Governors serving on our Upper Nidderdale Primary Federation and these have been elected for a four year period by formal ballot We do keep an up-to-date register of parents eligible to vote in this ballot, including the divorced or separated parent with whom the child is not living.
If there were to be any parental complaints these should initially be put to the Headteacher who may be able to resolve the matter simply. However, if no satisfaction is obtained there is a formal complaints procedure. Parents should then contact the Clerk to the Governors, Mrs A Lumley via St. Cuthbert's Primary School, Pateley Bridge 01423 71147 or email bm@st-cuthberts.n-yorks.sch.uk
