Two Rivers Federation Governing Board – VACANCIES
We have two vacancies on our Two Rivers Governing Board.
Two Rivers Federation consists of both, Bishops Tawton Primary School and Langtree Community School & Nursery Unit.
We are looking for more representation from the parents/community of Langtree and would like for at least one of the two vacancies to be filled by a Langtree representative. However, we welcome interest and will equally consider candidates from both schools.
The governing body meet in-person at either school, six times in an academic year and twice a term online for committee meetings. If you have some time to give and believe that you have something to offer the governing board, please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
Please see the link to the letter below for more information or email the clerk if you have any questions...
