Become a School Governor with Charles Read Academy, Corby Glen
The Charles Read Academy is a small 11-16 school in Corby Glen, Lincolnshire, serving the villages between Stamford, Bourne, and Grantham. In 2016, we were ranked one of the most improved secondary schools in the country and were proud to be judged 'good' by Ofsted in all areas in February 2022. Our mission is to broaden students’ horizons, increase their aspirations, and life chances by providing a world-class education that embraces academic excellence and enrichment activities.
The David Ross Education Trust is a not-for-profit Multi-Academy Trust that runs a growing network of primary and secondary schools across various locations. DRET academies serve over 14,000 students and their families.
We are looking for new governors to support Charles Read Academy. Our governors work closely with their academies to support the Trust’s goal of broadening the horizons of young people through a world-class education, equipping our students with the skills and experiences to become their confident, academic best.
Becoming a governor is an excellent form of volunteering and can be a rewarding and stimulating experience. You will play a vital role in ensuring that children at your academy receive the best possible education. This role provides the satisfaction of raising standards and achieving improvements for the school.
There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills while working with others to benefit children's education. Although the role may sound formal, most people enjoy their time as a governor and appreciate the sense of duty and loyalty to their school. You may also progress to being a chair, which brings added responsibility. Experiences of school governorship look great on any CV and can create career opportunities.
It is important to have governors who are reflective of the community a school serves. Diversity can enhance scrutiny and decision-making in the interests of pupils. We welcome governors from a diverse range of backgrounds, skills, and experiences to join our team.
