We are looking for dedicated people to join our school board of governors. 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
We meet at the school once every half term on a Wednesday for full board meetings and each governor sits on a committee/s (to suit skills and experience) which also meet once a term. We meet from 4.15 - 6.15pm and governors do make monitoring visits to the school during school hours.
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.
