Governor Recruitment
Are you interested in serving as a Governor at a Maintained School, Academy, or as a Trustee at a Multi Academy Trust?
- Are you looking for a new challenge that allows you to put something back into your local community?
- Are you interested in making a positive contribution to children’s education?
- Do you have time and energy to read documentation and attend meetings?
