“Our local school governors are intrinsic to the running of our Trust as they have the local knowledge about their school and community. This becomes more important as we grow the number of schools within our Trust.

The benefits of being a local governor are many and varied. You have a sense of helping our young people to be provided with the best possible education, as these young people are our future. You will be able to use your life and work experiences to shape the future of local education and challenge school leaders to ensure they are delivering the best education for our young people.

You do not need to have any special experience or qualifications to be a local governor. We value membership from the widest range of backgrounds to ensure that we are representing all our communities.

It is very rewarding to know that you are contributing to future generations by providing our young people with the tools they need for life.  It is great to be able to use the skills that you have acquired through your work and life experiences to contribute to a Local Governing Committee. All our Local Governing Committees work together with their various skills to ensure that our schools are challenged and supported in equal measure.”
