Become a School Governor

Interested in volunteering? Looking for a way to develop your skills? Wondering how you can impact the next generation? Governors for Schools might be the perfect solution for you.
 
Governors for Schools is an education charity that supports schools across England and Wales in finding skilled and committed volunteers for their governing boards. You do not have to be a parent or an educationalist to be a school governor. As a member of our University community, we know that you have skills and experience to offer.  

Why volunteer as a school governor? 

• Put your skills to practical use and see the impact of your decisions on young people’s education. 
• Help schools overcome challenges to ensure a bright future for children in your community. 
• Work collaboratively with people from different backgrounds, challenging your own perspective and broadening your professional network. 
• Gain experience outside of your job description and skills you can bring back to work. 

To explore the benefits and to understand the role from current governors, take a look at the Governors for Schools website.
