· A willingness to listen and make informed judgements
· The ability to work well with others
· Time to spare
· Sufficient numeracy skills to understand basic data
· And most importantly enthusiasm!
What we can offer is:
· The opportunity to make a difference in some of the most vulnerable young lives
· A real sense of achievement
· The pleasure of helping our students reach their potential
· A chance to develop skills in strategic management
· The opportunity to work with our team of governors and staff in improving our school
· Training to develop an understanding of specific school management issues
· An insight into the education system including the structure of a Multi Academy Trust
Are you interested and would you like to apply? If so we would like to invite you to attend a business breakfast on Thursday 1 November 2018 at 8.15am. The purpose of this would be for Michele Marr, Chief Executive of the Trust and Headteacher of Caludon Castle, to meet with you and provide more information about the role of the local governing body. You would also have a tour of the school and the chance to meet some of our students. Please contact Karen Steele at ststeelek@caludoncastle.co.uk on 02476 444822 to book your place. We will provide you with further information on how you can apply for a role at the business breakfast over a coffee and a croissant!

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all governors and volunteers to share this commitment. Governor opportunities are subject to the receipt of a satisfactory enhanced DBS check.

Ofsted report
“Teaching is good across the academy overall and in English, drama, music; history and science inspectors saw evidence of outstanding teaching over time. Teachers are using the academy’s new assessment system effectively to plan lessons that meet the needs of pupils well. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a strength in the academy. Pupils in the main school and learners in the sixth form have an excellent understanding of the wider world, their responsibilities as future citizens and the importance of respect and tolerance. Behaviour is good in lessons and around the academy because the expectations of leaders and teachers are high. Pupils arrive at lessons keen to learn.”
