Governance

School governors are ordinary people from the local community who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education. They are the largest volunteer force in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. Governors are not involved in the day-to-day management of the school.

Almost anyone can become a school governor and you can find out more information here. All new governors receive training and support from Ivy Learning Trust and their fellow governors. This is an extremely rewarding role that can help to improve children’s outcomes, as well as giving you an opportunity to learn and practise key employability skills and gain strategic management experience.
