Governance Applications

Did you know that supporting our amazing staff and pupils in all school is a team of fantastic volunteers who give their time to ensure all of our pupils receive the best education possible?

Local School Committees meet formally four times a year, with opportunities to come into school in between for monitoring visits. No prior experience in the education sector is required and training is provided - did you know that becoming involved in school governance could provide invaluable experience for your CV and that many workplaces allow staff to take time off throughout the year for volunteering?

Many of our schools currently have vacancies for co-opted LSC members. To find out more about what’s involved, please speak to your school leader in the first instance, or fill out this form.
