Job overview
I am delighted that you are interested in the opportunity to join the Governing Body of Pinner High School. We are seeking TWO Community Governors to join the Governing Body and ideally but not essential from a Legal, Finance, HR and Education sector.
You will be joining at a very exciting time as we continue to develop Pinner High School. Our ambition as the Governing Body is simple; for Pinner High to build on its strong foundations as an excellent school that the local community is proud of and to live up to its motto of ‘Inspiring Learning’. The school’s Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rating in all categories and recent shortlisting as TES Secondary school of the year is a strong indicator we are on the right track. However, we are always looking to improve further. Our role is to set the ethos, vision and strategic direction for the school; support and challenge the Headteacher and senior staff to ensure that our educational expectations are exceeded; ensure that the school is functioning effectively and ensure that public money is spent efficiently and appropriately
It is essential that you are able to commit the time required to be an effective Governor, including attending training where necessary. The Local Governing Body is a team effort and you must be able and willing to listen to and respect the views of others, maintain confidentiality, put forward your own opinions, understand and challenge data and share the ethos and objectives of Pinner High School. Further information about our expectations is available later in this Information Pack.
Pinner High School is part of a multi-academy trust, called Harrow Academies Trust (HAT), that is also due to open a primary school, Harrow View Primary School, as part of the re development of the Kodak site in Harrow. As Pinner High School’s Local Governing Body we are accountable to the Board of Trustees of HAT and we operate within the procedures of the overall trust. HAT has been set up by local high schools working in partnership.
If you wish to be considered as a Governor, please complete the Expression of Interest form in full and email it to info@pinnerhighschool.org to arrive by 9am on Wednesday 22 February 2023. If there is one interested party then they will be appointed, if there are more interested parties than positions then we will hold elections. Please do contact me via Victoria Fairweather, PA to the Headteacher; vfairweather@pinnerhighschool.org if you have any questions about the role, or our vision for Pinner High School.
I am proud to be the Chair of Governors and a parent of a child at the school. If you are as excited about the school as I am, and keen to support our continuing development, then I look forward to receiving your Expression of Interest.
Dr Andleeb Ahmed
Chair of Pinner High School Local Governing
