Governing Board

School Governors

Welcome to Hunslet Carr Primary School

At Hunslet Carr Primary School we are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of governors who are skilled in their role. We believe that effective school governance is at the centre of a good school and we do all we can to promote and develop our governors through our work across the school.

Our governing body consists of twelve governors and they serve a term of office for four years although this can be shorter if they wish. The main aim of our governors is to ensure that school provides the best education possible to its children and to improve standards.

Children are at the heart of everything we do at Hunslet Carr Primary School and we work hard to make sure that all our children believe that they can be anything they want to be. We hope that they are excited and curious about the world around them and develop the life skills they will need to be happy, successful, confident and resilient young people.

Our school has a community feel, and it is our vision that all young people at Hunslet Carr Primary School will have High Expectations, be Caring, have Positive Attitudes and be Successful. Our children benefit greatly from the strong partnerships and sense of common purpose which the school has developed with our governors, parents, local schools and the community.

You may already be familiar with who we are and what we do, but if you would like more information, please click on the links below to find out more or contact us through the school office on 0113 2713804.

Governors’ News

As always, the school is jammed packed with activities during December which is great for all of the children to enjoy ahead of the Christmas holidays.

I know that Christmas is not a celebration for all, whether due to beliefs or other reasons, so I wanted to highlight that the focus for this time of year doesn’t have to be on presents and spending money. Instead, for me, the run up to Christmas and the Christmas holiday is all about having fun and making happy memories with all the people who are important in your life.

I’m also very conscious that this time of year can put added pressures on peoples already stretched financial circumstances. There is support available if people are struggling and more details can be found here: https://www.leeds.gov.uk/campaign/cost-of-living.

The school has some fantastic things going on that will create some of those precious memories for our children and I also want to take this time to wish you all a great Christmas break with lots of happy times.

Kind regards. Sarah Gardner Chair of Governors

Can we take this chance to remind all parents about how dangerous the road outside school can be at busy times like Drop-Off and Pick-Up.

Please talk to your child, no matter what year group they happen to be in about some road safety advice.

Always find a safe place to cross – never cross in between two parked cars!
Always stop at the side of the road and look left and then right.
Always use your ears as well as your eyes to make sure nothing is coming.
Always double check that it is safe before stepping out on to the road.
Never cross the road while checking your phone.
