Our governors come from a range of different backgrounds, skills and experience, but all share a common interest of wanting the best possible education for the children in our school. Governors are essential for the effectiveness and success of the school and it is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling role. All school Governors serve a 2 year term.

A school's governing board has 3 main functions:
· Helping to set and review the schools strategic direction and agreeing targets for improvement
· Holding the headteacher and school leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
· Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure public money is well spent.
More information about the role of school governor can be found on the NGA (National Governance Association) website.
What does the role offer?
· A chance to develop your own personal skills
· Full induction and ongoing training to ensure that you are confident and successful within your role
. Ongoing support and guidance from fellow governors
Who are we looking for?
We are interested in hearing from people with a range of skills and experience, including those with education, HR or data analysis experience. However, what is more important is enthusiasm, interest and the willingness to learn.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS clearance and online checks.
