Junior Governor Elections

On the 2^nd October we will be holding our annual Junior Governor elections for years 1-6. 

Children that are interested in running need to either complete the Junior Governor speech forms which will be given out by class teachers or be ready to present to the class their ideas.

Once all children have presented, the top three from each class will be chosen ready for the school election. If your child would like to be a junior governor, please could they have their ideas ready to present by the 29th September.

Dear Parents, Teachers and Friends of Vigo Primary School,

Annual General Meeting (AGM) : Thursday 9 October 2025

We would like to give notice of the AGM of the Friends of Vigo Primary (FoVP), to be held on Thursday 9 October 2025. The meeting will start at 3.30pm after school pick up and will be held at the school.

The FoVP plays a vital part in the school community and all parents, teachers and wider family of current pupils, as members of the FoVP, are invited to support the AGM. This is your chance to hear about how the funds you have helped to raise will be used for the benefit of the children/students at our school, and to have a say in what events we are planning for the coming year.

The AGM is also an opportunity for you to elect the FoVP Committee who will represent the association throughout the forthcoming year. Nominations should be sent in advance of the AGM for anyone wishing to stand as an Officer or Ordinary Committee Member, for the first time. Existing committee members wishing to stand for re-election do not have to be nominated again but should inform the Committee of their intention to stay in their role.

If you would like any further information about being a Committee Member, please speak to any of the current committee (details at the bottom of the page). As the FoVP is a registered charity, all committee members automatically become Trustees of the Charity. Before submitting your nomination form, please read the Charity Commission publication ‘The Essential Trustee – What you need to know (CC3)’. A copy of the booklet can be found on the Charity Commission website. We can assist in getting an electronic copy of this to you if required.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 9 October 2025. If there are any questions, please email vigopta@gmail.com.

Kind Regards,

Lorraine Ford                              Vera Ralph                                      Sam Cross

Chair, FoVP                                  Secretary, FoVP                             Treasurer, FOVP

Parking

Can we remind all Parents and Carers not to park on the grass verges or by dipped curbs on Vigo Road. Parking here blocks pathways used by wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs, and obstructs lines of sight causing further safety issues.

We have had complaints from residents of Vigo road that they have been unable to leave their homes to take their own children to school, or go to work, because cars have been parked blocking their driveways.

Please be aware that parking enforcement officers have been requested. Parking on footpaths, across dipped kerbs or on yellow lines can result in a penalty charge notice being issued.
