WANTED – GOVERNORS

A Unique Chance to Make a Difference to Young People’s Lives

Why not come to our business breakfast and find out more?

Our governors join us through a variety of routes and with a range of different backgrounds, skills and experiences.  They are all volunteers who work together for the benefit of the academy.  Governors are the most important volunteer workforce in education. We value the link that governors provide between the academy and the community it serves.

• The confidence to ask questions and join in debate
• A willingness to listen and make informed judgements

• Time to spare
• Sufficient numeracy skills to understand basic data

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 pupils 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
