We’d love to hear from anyone who feels they have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to be a governor. Please speak to Mrs Jones, Headteacher who can explain the process, what vacancies are available and what the role involves.

What can I expect?

You’ll be joining a hard-working and committed group of governors who take their leadership role very seriously.

Governors usually serve a four year term of office once appointed or elected, and broadly speaking each year you’ll need to:

• attend six meetings  of the full governing body during each school year - one every half term
• attend sub- committee meetings where necessary
• visit the school and prepare a follow up report for your fellow governors 
• get involved with some case work in respect of pupils or staff, e.g. attending a disciplinary hearing

You can find out more about becoming a school governor on the below link.
