LGB Governor


Join Our Local Governing Board – Make a Difference in Your Community

We are seeking passionate and committed Community Governors to join the Local Governing Board of our Academy Trust. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of our school and supporting the success and wellbeing of our pupils.

About the role

As a Community Governor, you will help ensure that the academy delivers high standards of education, maintains strong values, and serves its students and local community effectively. You will work closely with fellow governors and school leaders to provide strategic oversight, support, and challenge.

No previous governance experience is necessary – full training and support will be provided. What matters most is your commitment, your ability to think strategically, and your desire to make a positive impact.

We’re looking for individuals who:
  • Are enthusiastic about education and community development.
  • Can bring fresh perspectives and sound judgement.
  • Are willing to ask questions, share ideas, and contribute to team decisions.
  • Have a few hours a month to attend meetings and engage in academy life.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from under-represented groups in school governance.

Why join us?
  • Play a vital role in shaping the direction of the academy.
  • Gain valuable experience in leadership, governance and education. 
  • Work with a supportive and committed team.
  • Contribute to your local community and make a real difference.

If you’re ready to help drive improvement, raise aspirations, and support every child’s potential, we’d love to hear from you.
