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 fourteen 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

Dear all,

Above all, what motivates me to be a governor is having the opportunity to ensure schools are focused on playing their part in helping children to have the best possible opportunities to lead happy and fulfilling lives. This means so much more than just teaching English, maths and other subjects. It means helping children to develop confidence & to be kind and respectful of others.

Mr Lumb, and all the staff of Hunslet Carr, are united in sharing these goals and I strongly suspect you are too. Researchers have shown that, while teachers are highly trained experts, most children learn more at home than they do in schools. They learn from their parents, friends, wider family and others in their communities. So...in a way, we are all 'teachers' and I'd like to end this last message of the school year by thanking you for playing your part in helping your children to be the best, and the happiest, they can be. Have a great summer.

Jon Hairsine,
Chair of Governors

I wanted to 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.

Regards.
Jon Hairsine
Chair of Governors
