There will be three secure ballot boxes for you to return your forms safely:
Boxes will be outside the Main Hall from Wyndham Road entrance, outside Year 1 block and outside Year 6 entrances. These boxes are Fielding blue and will have a sign clearly stating that they are ballot boxes.
You can also return these forms by Royal Mail but not by pupil post.
Electronic documents will not be accepted.
Ealing Council has strict rules about parent governor elections. We would prefer to complete all of this electronically but have been told that we cannot.
The double envelope system
Each parent will be provided with a ballot paper and a parent declaration form. When recording your vote on the ballot paper, please clearly mark which candidate you wish to vote for (please do not mark this paper in any way which may identify you). When you have completed the ballot paper this must be placed in the smallest envelope provided and sealed. You must also complete the declaration form which goes in the large envelope provided along with the smaller sealed envelope which will contain your ballot paper.
For parents living at the same address, each parent should put their individual ballot paper in separate small envelopes. They should then put both parent declaration form together with the two small, sealed envelopes in the remaining larger envelope provided.
Ballot papers will be sent home by pupil post on Thursday 7th November 2024.
If you do not receive these forms, you will need to come into the school office and complete a parent verification form. This form states that you have either not received the original papers or that these maybe lost.
All votes are kept in a secure area until the count.
