Job overview
We are looking for committed individuals from the local community, and from all walks of life and backgrounds to join our Schools Standards Board.

Your opportunity
We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to join our School Standards Board (SSB) at Floreat Wandsworth School for a four year period. As an SSB member, you will contribute to and monitor the school’s development plan, which is focused on the key improvement priorities for the school.

- is able to listen, reflect and learn from a range of viewpoints
- is able to establish clear expectations for school leaders
- has the ability to analyse and interpret data and statistics
- has the confidence to ask questions and challenge school leaders in an appropriate way
Being a member of the School Standards Board is a rewarding one, where you will gain insight into the workings of our schools and play a part in improving outcomes for every pupil.

Everything the SSB do has a role to play to make our vision a reality for pupils.
The Details
