Governor Vacancies                                                                 

We currently have a vacancy on the Governing Body for a parent Governor and would be delighted to hear from any parents or guardians with parental responsibility who may be interested.

The governing body, with the Headteacher, has overall responsibility for the running of the school. Governing bodies have three core strategic functions:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

As a Governor, there is an expectation that you would attend two main governing body meetings per year and in addition, join one of our sub-committees which would involve at least one other meeting per term. Training is available for all governors and anybody new to the governor role will be able to attend a free governor induction training course.

No special qualifications are needed and the most important thing is to have a keen interest in the school and be prepared to play an active part in the governing body’s work. However, we would particularly welcome nominations from parents with the following skills:

  • business or financial planning
  • previous experience as a governor 

If you, or somebody you know may be interested or you would like to find out more about becoming a governor, please speak to the office or to any member of the Governing Body (we are quite a friendly bunch!). An up to date list of Governors is on the Governor notice board outside the office and is also available on the school website. 

We currently have a vacancy on the Governing Body for a co-opted Governor and would be delighted to hear from people who would like to be a governor of an outstanding school!
