Become a school governor

Whatever your academic background or current employment, voluntarily joining a school board as a governor, or an Academy as a trustee, is a fantastic way to develop your professional skills. You can learn completely new skills or apply existing ones within a new context, broadening your experience – all whilst helping improve educational outcomes within your local community.

There is a current shortage of skilled volunteers to serve as governors across the country, particularly in the South East. Applicants of all ages are needed and you don’t have to be a parent to apply.

What does a school governor do?

Schools benefit hugely from the time and expertise brought by their governors who have three main roles:

setting the strategy and ethos of the school
holding the Head Teacher to account for the educational outcomes of all students
ensuring financial accountability.
