DS attends a small independent school. I would be interested in becoming a governor. Presently there are no parent (or staff) governors and the current ones have been there for years, are pretty elderly and Imo a bit out of touch! I asked the HT about being a parent governor with the hope of being able to inject some fresh enthusiasm into the school and having experience of being a parent of a pupil who is experiencing the school etc. the Head basically said that we can't have parents as we are an independent fee paying school where finances are discussed. This seems really odd to me and I've never heard anything like this before. I have never been a governor can anyone else shed any light on this before I pursue it?
