Support local schools – Become a Governor

 

Support local schools – Become a Governor

Becoming a School Governor is a rewarding way to contribute to local education while developing valuable professional skills. At The David Ross Education Trust we are looking for volunteers to support our 36 schools in London, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.

Being a Governor within a Multi Academy Trust is a unique opportunity that differs from traditional school governance. Rather than setting budgets and writing policies, governors play an important role in scrutinising and ensuring compliance within the schools. The commitment required is minimal - just five meetings per year during term time, with occasional optional review panels and school visits.

Why get involved?

·       Gain valuable Board experience to enhance your CV.

·       Network with professionals from diverse sectors, including education, finance, and HR.

·       Develop new skills and insights into governance, financial oversight, and educational strategies.

·       Make a meaningful impact on local schools and communities.
