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

I hope you enjoyed spending time with your children over the summer break, and made the most of the more relaxed Covid rules.

We have already had our first governors meeting of the new term. Among other things, we reviewed what is being done to help children catch up with their learning after the disruption caused by COVID, and what precautions are still in place to help keep the children and staff safe.

I am aware of a number of schools in the local area that have already had class or bubble closures this term due to several children or staff having tested positive. I suspect that many of you are, like me, are tired of all the precautions and freedoms we have had to give up, but it is important to keep doing what we can to avoid COVID causing lost learning time.

As part of this, governors are continuing to have meetings using Zoom to reduce the risk of contracting the virus.

Finally, we have a vacancy for a parent/carer governor and we'd love to hear from any parent or carer who felt they could help move the school forward by contributing in governors’ meetings. I know Mr Lumb and his leadership team are always on the playground before or after school and would be happy to speak to you about the position.

Kind Regards
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
