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
Welcome to the part of the newsletter where the Governors of the school let you know about the work we do to support and challenge the leaders of our school. Normally, the summer holidays are a quiet time for the Governing Body but this year nothing is normal. Mr Lumb and his leadership team have been in constant contact with us to ensure we had the best possible plans for our September reopening. As well as preparing to reopen, major building work was carried out in the school to bring the school up to the new fire safety standards that were put in place after the Grenfell Fire. Over 50 new fire doors have been fitted and the school’s walls have been filled with fire retardant materials. This term we will be meeting on Tuesday 30th to set the goals for the school and to discuss how as governors we can help Mr Lumb and his team achieve them.
Jon Hairsine, Chair of the Governing Body

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. Mr Lumb informed me that last Friday a young girl in Year 3 was knocked over by a car at hometime.

I am pleased to say that she is home and well and we are looking forward to having her back in school next week, but it could have been very different.

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.

From what Mr Lumb told me the scenes on Friday night were very distressing for everyone concerned and I would hate for any other families to go through something similar on the way to or going home from school.

Regards.
Jon Hairsine
Chair of Governors
