Becoming a school governor
Are you interested in the education, welfare and opportunities provided for children and young people? Have you got enthusiasm and time to spare? If so, you could consider volunteering as a school governor.
Governors give their service voluntarily and no formal qualifications are necessary although there are eligibility criteria. They are ordinary people, aged over 18, with a special commitment to the education and wellbeing of children. Terms of office will be a minimum of one to a maximum of four years.
