​​​​​​​Personal statements & ballot papers will be sent out on Friday 3rd March 2023. There is a 14-day window for ballot papers and parent declaration forms to be returned to the school, deadline Friday 17th March 2023 at 3.30pm. Any votes received after this date will not be accepted. 

There will be three secure ballot boxes for you to return your forms safely

• Boxes are 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.
   

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 smaller 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 ballot paper in separate small envelopes and then put both declarations and the two sealed small envelopes in the larger envelope provided.

Ballot papers will be sent home by pupil post on Friday 3rd March 2023. 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. Completed forms cannot be sent electronically.

You can return these forms to the designated ballot boxes as explained above or by Royal Mail.
Electronic documents will not be accepted.
All votes are kept in a secure area until the count.

The count
The count for the election will take place on Monday 20th March 2023 at 11.30 am.  Notification of the successful candidate will be made known via Latest News on Monday 20th March 2023.
