Governors Wanted
What do governors do?
School governors offer strategic guidance, rather than getting involved in the operational aspects of a school. This involves:
- Working with other board members to plan the school’sstrategic direction.
- Overseeing the school’s educational performance.
- Holding the headteacher or school leadership to account.
A school governor’s relationship with the school’s leadership team involves challenging existing processes to drive school improvement. School governors usually attend around six meetings per year. Although becoming a school governor requires drive and commitment, you’ll enjoy many professional and personal rewards, including career development opportunities and the chance to support young people’s futures.
Governors may also sit on disciplinary cases regarding pupils and staff. If you have experience of management, procurement, law, finance, or HR then your skills would be very much appreciated. Meeting time will probably take up between 20 to 30 hours per year. Expenses can be paid.
