Governor

We are looking for passionate, dedicated individuals to join our Local Advisory Boards (LABs).  Governors comes from all walks of life.  Whether you are a local business leader, educator or community member, becoming a school governor is a rewarding role and will allow you the opportunity to use your skills and attributes to have a positive impact on the education of our children and young people.

As a Governor, you will play a vital role in the leadership and management of the school as well as being able to develop and learn new skills and take on different challenges.  This is a strategic, voluntary position where you will work alongside fellow governors and school leaders to provide oversight, challenge, and support.

Everyone has experience and skills to offer, so an effective governing body has people from different backgrounds with a mix of skills.

A good governor has:

• common sense

• the ability to work in a team

• an interest in education and a commitment to the school

• patience, energy, enthusiasm and some spare time

• a willingness to listen, learn and to spend time in school

• a willingness to undertake training.

The LAB meets formally 4 times a year although the majority of our Governors do commit additional time to visit and play a full part in school life which is warmly encouraged.   We provide support and training to all our governors. We have regular conferences and support information available.
