Local School Governor (Sherburn CE and Luttons Primary Academies)
We welcome governors from various backgrounds to help advise and challenge our local school to provide the best opportunities for our children.
About this Opportunity
We particularly welcome those with knowledge of education, finance, human resources, legal, marketing, public relations, property and estates management as well as organisational change. We also welcome lived experience such as having grandchildren, children, adopting or being in care as a child or with experience of SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). As Sherburn is a CE school, we are also looking for those who are particularly interested in a Christian ethos within a school setting, or interested in the teaching of RE.
However, do not discount yourself just because you may fall out of this skill set or set of experiences. All we ask is that you have a passion for furthering the education of our school’s pupils and willingness to learn with a time commitment of around five hours a month - full training is provided.
Being a school governor is also a great opportunity to learn new skills and reinforce existing ones within a new sector you may not have thought about volunteering or working in before. On top of this, you will meet people from various backgrounds and be able to become a part of the local school community.
