icollege values the partnership it has with the community which undoubtedly brings great benefits to the children. One of the most significant ways you can help in promoting this aim is to volunteer to be a Community governor.
The role of a school governor is a very rewarding one and it will enable you to meet new people and to work as part of a team. You will gain new knowledge and skills and will be able to bring a valuable perspective to the work of the board.
Don’t worry if you have no experience, as full training and support is available and you will be well supported by your colleagues on the governing body.
The governing body's main tasks are:
- to ensure that the school has a clear vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- to hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils;
- to oversee the financial performance of the school, making sure its money is well spent.
Community governors are valued members of the team and play a vital role and give their time and commitment to helping us to continue to improve the school's performance, also, to play their part in ensuring that our pupils fulfil their aspirations.
Full training and support will be available to help you develop into the role. This will include in-house mentoring and support, as well as access to external governor training.
Please note, that for the protection of children, all governor appointments are subject to an identity and DBS check.
