Governor vacancies - join our team

Are you looking to help out in your community and local school? Have you thought about becoming a school governor? 

 Being a governor is a voluntary role that is rewarding, stimulating, and enjoyable. Our Governing Body is made up of parents, staff and others who care about the school and enjoy working together for the benefit of the Federation and the community. . 

We welcome hearing from people from all walks of life who can bring different perspectives, skills and experiences - no previous governance or education sector experience is required.

Your fellow governors have many years combined experience and will also offer you support.
