We are looking for passionate, independent individuals from the local community to join our Governing Body and help shape the future of our academy. If you live or work in the area and are eager to make a positive impact on local education, we want to hear from you!
About the Role:
As a Governor, you will serve as a ‘critical friend’ to the academy, questioning, challenging, and supporting the leadership team to ensure every child has access to an exceptional education in a nurturing, safe environment. You’ll help ensure that the academy remains true to its vision and continues to provide a first-class learning experience for all students.

What’s Involved:
- Attend 4 meetings per year (approx. 2 hours each)
- Prepare for meetings by reviewing papers in advance
- Opportunity to take on lead roles or join trust board committees, depending on availability and expertise.
Why Join?
- Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of local education.
- Collaborate with a dedicated, diverse group of individuals to support and challenge senior leadership.
- Help support a rich, broad curriculum that empowers students to thrive academically and socially.
