• Election of Parent Governors

  Dear Parents,

  The Headteacher of Lliswerry High School has been asked to arrange an election for 1 Parent Governor.

  The Role of Governors has become increasingly important. They must ensure that the requirements of the national curriculum are met, establish standards of behaviour, select staff, deal with budget matters and prepare and present the Annual Report to Parents. Governing Bodies are required to meet at least once a term after school. The frequency and time of meetings is decided by the Governing Body. This is a vital role, but also one that requires a time commitment for meetings, training etc.

  Governors are elected for a four-year term of office, but Parents may continue to serve even if their child leaves the school during that time. Training is continually available for all Governors, at no cost to the individual. All Governors, new and experienced, are expected to take advantage of any courses arranged as it is vital to keep up to date with new ideas and legislation.

  Each nominee is invited to make a brief statement in support of their nomination which will be circulated to Parents in the event of an election. Please ensure any statement is clearly written to avoid problems when being reproduced.

  All nominees must be a Parent, or Legal Guardian, of a Pupil registered at the School.  Grandparents of Pupils are not allowed to take part in the election unless they are the Legal Guardians of the Child. No person may serve on more than two Governing Bodies in any category. 

  A person is not permitted to stand as Parent Governor if the following apply: 

  (a) an elected member of the local education authority;
  (b) employed by the local education authority in connection with its functions as a local education authority; or
  (c) paid to work at the school for more than 500 hours in any twelve-month period commencing on 1 August and finishing on 31 July.

  The nomination form should be completed by Thursday 21^st May . If nominations exceed the number of vacancies a secret ballot will be held. Details of the election will be sent to you if appropriate.

  The name of the elected governor will be displayed at the school.

  Yours sincerely,

  Cllr M Howells
  Chair of Governors

• Andrew Coughlin

  Good afternoon,

  It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Andrew Coughlin, a
  former member of staff who served Lliswerry High School with exceptional dedication for
  thirty seven years.

  Andrew was Head of PE and Head of Key Stage 3, and he was an integral part of the
  school for nearly four decades. He was a true team player who always placed our learners
  at the heart of everything he did.

  As a valued member of our pastoral team, Andrew supported learners as they began their
  journey at Lliswerry High School, guiding them with his own style of encouragement and
  his trademark mix of humour and honesty. He helped countless young people reach their
  potential and made a lasting difference to their lives.

  He dedicated many years to coaching school sports teams, inspiring learners through his
  enthusiasm and the pride he took in their achievements. He also played a significant role
  in developing the PE teachers who have served and continue to serve at Lliswerry High
  School, sharing his experience and shaping the team for future generations.

  He will be remembered by staff and families alike; he had a postive impact on the lives of
  so many members of our school community.

  If you would like to share your memories please add them to the memorial page which we
  will later share with Andrew’s family https://lliswerryhigh.org/memorial/

  Andrew will be fondly remembered for his team spirit, his work ethic and his unwavering
  belief in young people. His legacy will remain a part of Lliswerry High School for many
  years to come.

  Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
  Thank you for keeping them in your thoughts.

  Julia Fitzgerald
  (Headteacher)
