Community Governors
This is a voluntary position involving half-termly meetings.
We invite applications for the role of Governor to join our cohesive and supportive team. We are specifically seeking an individual with professional experience, ideally in finance or education, gained across various sectors. Our diverse group of governors share a deep passion for the transformative impact of education on young lives.
Responsibilities:
1. Collaborate closely with the school leadership team.
2. Oversee the strategic direction and overall performance of our school.
We are particularly interested in individuals that have quality of education knowledge, finance, and health and safety.
Being a governor requires several key qualities:
1. Child-Centric Commitment: A genuine dedication to the welfare and academic achievement of the children.
2. Positive Contribution: A desire to actively contribute to the school community.
3. Practical Judgment: Common sense and practical decision-making.
4. Time Commitment: A willingness to invest time in the role.
If you have the commitment, vision, and desire to contribute to our educational community, we encourage you to apply. Your dedication will help shape the future of our students.
Governors play a crucial role in our school. Many of their functions are either statutory or governed by legal frameworks. To effectively fulfill their strategic responsibilities, governors must think strategically, challenge, monitor, and provide support. We offer a comprehensive induction, training, and support package and this is a great opportunity for professional development at board level.

These values are creatively embedded throughout all aspects of the school curriculum by our hardworking teaching and support staff.
