The Governors of Parrenthorn High School believe it to be important that Governing
Boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse Boards
promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and
young people.
The Governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including
data on age, gender and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment
and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives
around the table to support robust decision making. At the present time, we do not
publish this diversity data online, as individual Governors could be identified, and we
have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
