The school governor role is a most important role in education. Governors are critical to the effective running of schools and there are currently vacancies near to you.
School governors are people like you. You don’t need to be a parent or have any knowledge of the education system. Different types of people with varying skills are eligible to apply and can add enormous value to a governing body. The only requirement is that you are 18 years or over and essentially want to make a positive difference to the education of local children.
School governors’ responsibilities can include planning for the school’s long term future, allocating budgets and appointing senior members of staff. Therefore, the school governor role not only benefits the education of potentially thousands of children, but will also give you the opportunity to implement existing skills and develop new ones.
So if you have six to eight hours a month to spare and would like to help a local school continue to deliver the highest possible standards of education, the school governor role could be for you.
