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
Because of the unusual circumstances over the last several months, it is a lot longer than usual since I wrote to you. Since then, COVID-19 has changed all our lives. I hope you haven’t been badly affected by the consequences of the virus.

Although governors cannot come into school as much as we usually do, we are still monitoring things regularly, and holding meetings using Zoom. At our first board meeting last week, it was particularly pleasing to hear from Mr Lumb that the children have adjusted well to being in school, that they have almost all been very happy to be back, and that they are keen to catch up with their learning. Also, it has been delightful, but not at all surprising, to be told that all the teachers, and other staff, have been thrilled to welcome your children back.

Most importantly, governors are playing a part in making sure that the school operates as safely as possible, to minimise the risk of infection spreading within the school. Thank you to you for doing your bit to minimise the risk that your child becomes infected. Keeping children in school safely so they can keep on learning is so important so we are all extremely keen to keep school fully open, even though the colder weather will make that harder.

Best wishes from me and all the governors – 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
