Where any person makes an appointment referred to in paragraph (1) they shall give written notice of the appointment to the clerk to the temporary governing body, specifying the name and usual place of residence of the person appointed.

The head teacher will be a governor from midnight on the actual incorporation date unless (before the instrument of government is made) he has given written notice to the clerk to the temporary governing body that he chooses not to be a governor from that date.

Paragraph (3) is without prejudice to the head teacher’s right after the actual incorporation date to give written notice to the clerk to the governing body to the effect that he chooses to be or not to be a governor.
