Governance

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 12 governors, who serve a 4-year term of office. The main aim of our governors is to ensure that the school provides the best possible education for 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 ensure that all our children believe they can be anything they want to be.

We hope that the children who attend are excited and curious about the world around them, and that they develop the life skills they will need to be happy, successful, confident, and resilient young people.

Our school has a community feel, and our vision is that all young people at Hunslet Carr Primary School will have High Expectations, be Caring, have Positive Attitudes, and be Successful.

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

Governor News

October was a quiet month for the Governors.

We had one meeting, where Mr Lumb and the school leaders discussed with the Teaching and Learning committee the results the school achieved in the summer of 2026.

We were very proud of the hard work put in by the children, with this year's results being some of the best we have had in over 10 years, in Year 6, Year 1 and Early Years.

We are always looking for ways to help more children achieve the expected standards in Reading, Writing and Maths.

We heard from Mr Lumb, and the other leaders about a program called StepLab and how Leaders hope to use it to ensure every lesson the very best it can be.

We are looking forward to hearing updates on this throughout the year.

Mr Jon Hairsine - Chair of Governors
