The Governing Board of St. Paul’s C of E Primary School & Nursery are currently looking for new co-opted governors to join our friendly governing body. Our governors come from a range of different backgrounds, skills and experience, but all share a common interest of wanting the best possible education for the children in our school. Governors are essential for the effectiveness and success of the school and it is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling role. All school Governors serve a 2 year term. They are professionally curious, working voluntarily to strategically oversee the running of the school.

We would be delighted to hear from anyone who:

Is interested in children’s education and the performance of the school
Is community spirited and would like to represent the community
Has an enquiring mind and the confidence to ask questions and debate issues that affect the school
Can consider matters objectively and make informed judgements.

What is the role of the governing body?

A school's governing board has 3 main functions:

Helping to set and review the school’s strategic direction and agreeing targets for improvement
Holding the headteacher and school leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure public money is well spent.

More information about the role of school governor can be found on the NGA (National Governance Association) website.

What does the role offer?

A chance to develop your own personal skills
Full induction and ongoing training to ensure that you are confident and successful within your role
Ongoing support and guidance from fellow governors

Who are we looking for?

We are interested in hearing from people with a range of skills and experience, including those with education, HR or data analysis experience. However, what is more important is enthusiasm, interest and the willingness to learn.

If you would like to find out more about this role please contact the school office on the number in the contact details or email by clicking on Apply Now. We will be more than happy to arrange a visit to the school for an informal chat.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, and volunteers, to share the same commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check and online checks.
