Volunteer School Governor Opportunity

Make a Difference in Education - Join Our Governing Body

Glenmoor and Winton Academies are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join our Local Governing Body (LGB) and help shape the future of education for young people in our community.

As part of United Learning, we are committed to providing an excellent education and ensuring every child has the opportunity to progress, achieve and succeed in life. Our ethos is simple "the best in everyone."

Why Become a Governor?

School governors provide strategic oversight, support and challenge to school leaders, helping to ensure the very best outcomes for pupils. It is a rewarding opportunity to:

• Make a positive difference to young people's lives
• Contribute your professional skills and experience
• Support school improvement and educational excellence
• Develop your own leadership and governance experience
• Give something back to your local community

Who Are We Looking For?

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive governing body that reflects the community we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.

We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in:

• Education, Health and Safety, Building and Estates Management, Finance, Sustainability

Time Commitment

This is a voluntary role.

• The governing body meets once each term for approximately two hours. Meetings are currently held on Mondays at 5.00 pm.
• Governors are also expected to visit the school at least once each term to gain a deeper understanding of school life.

No Previous Governor Experience Needed

You do not need prior governor experience to apply. What matters most is a willingness to work as part of a team, offer constructive support and challenge, and contribute to the continued success of our schools.

Full training and ongoing support are provided through United Learning.

Appointment Process

Successful candidates will meet with the Principal and Chair of Governors and visit the school before being considered for appointment by the Local Governing Body. All appointments are subject to appropriate safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check.
