The role of the governor
Governors play a vital role in the leadership and direction of the school. They uphold our high standards of education and wellbeing by working as a team, providing strategic oversight, support and challenge.
Governors:
- set the school’s vision and values
- oversee finances and resources
- hold senior leaders accountable for performance
Governors do not become involved in day-to-day running of the school. The role is voluntary and takes about 15 hours per term. It is a rewarding way to make a real impact on children’s lives and the wider community.

You do not need previous experience as a governor or board member. We’re looking for people who bring:
- professional expertise
- curiosity and a willingness to learn
- sound judgement
- strong communication and teamwork skills
Training and ongoing support are provided – all you need is enthusiasm and commitment.
