About the Role:

As a Governor, you will serve as a ‘critical friend’ to the academy, questioning, challenging, and supporting the leadership team to ensure every child has access to an exceptional education in a nurturing, safe environment. You’ll help ensure that the academy remains true to its vision and continues to provide a first-class learning experience for all students.

Governors work within a clear Scheme of Delegation, supporting the Trust Board in achieving the academy’s aims and objectives, and holding leaders accountable for the progress and well-being of every pupil.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong commitment to the academy’s values and strategic direction.
• A desire to make a difference in your local community.
• Diverse skills and perspectives to help improve all aspects of the academy, from raising attainment to supporting leadership.

No prior experience is required – we offer full training and support for new Governors. Meeting times, roles and responsibilities vary so we can work with you to choose the most appropriate role depending on your availability, skillset and experience.

What’s Involved:

• Attend 4 meetings per year (approx. 2 hours each)
• Prepare for meetings by reviewing papers in advance
• Opportunity to take on lead roles or join trust board committees, depending on availability and expertise.

Why Join?

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of local education.
• Collaborate with a dedicated, diverse group of individuals to support and challenge senior leadership.
• Help support a rich, broad curriculum that empowers students to thrive academically and socially.
