We are looking for dedicated people to join our school board of governors
At Cherrywood we have a great team of Governors who work closely with and support the professionals in the school to help make a positive impact on the lives of our pupils. We are expanding that team.
A school governor ensures that:
· the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
· the headteacher effectively drives the educational performance of the school
· the school’s financial resources are used efficiently
To be a school governor you do not need a background in education – we value a diverse range of skills and interests.
We offer training to develop and enhance your skills, and you will be part of a supportive and pro-active team of volunteers working to deliver the best possible education for children in our community.
The role of school governor is subject to a DBS check.

We meet at the school twice a term on a Monday for full board meetings. We meet at 5.15 pm and governors do make monitoring visits to the school during school hours. Each governor is part of one or more Portfolios (to suit skills, interests, and experience) which help lead our work in areas such as safeguarding, inclusion (including SEND) and finance.
