Parent governor vacancy

We are currently looking to appoint a parent governor for our school governing board.

School governors work with school leaders to promote and uphold the vision and aims of the school to ensure the best outcomes for all children are achieved. Governors play a supportive and challenging role – like an executive board. The strategic plan of the school is shared with governors and the leadership team supply evidence of how this work is being achieved and impacts positively. Governors are volunteers and give their time for free. 

Governing bodies have three core strategic functions:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction for the school;
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

Governors bring a range of life experience, knowledge and skills to the governing board and reflect the community that the school serves.  We welcome applications from everyone and the most important thing is to have a keen interest in the school and to be prepared to play an active part in the governing board’s work. No special qualifications are needed.

If you are interested, please see the documents below for more information and for details of how to apply. The application deadline is 3pm on Friday 13th March 2026.
