What skills and experience we're looking for

🌟Join Us as a School Governor: Transform Lives and Shape Futures!🌟

Are you ready for a fulfilling role that combines challenge, impact, and community engagement? As a school governor, you’ll play a pivotal part in shaping the educational landscape in your local community.

The Gordon Children's Academy is currently looking to appoint a Community Governor to join our Academy Governing Body.

You don't need to work in education to become a governor. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who are passionate about supporting young people and can bring professional experience, fresh perspectives and a commitment to helping our school continue to thrive.

As a governor, you'll work alongside school leaders and fellow governors to provide strategic challenge and support, helping to ensure every child receives the very best education and opportunities to succeed.

Whether your background is in business, law, HR, finance, SEND, healthcare, communications, project management or another sector, your skills could make a real difference.

This is a voluntary role, but one that is incredibly rewarding and offers the opportunity to give something back to the local community while developing your own leadership and governance experience.

If you'd like to find out more, please get in touch atgovernance@tsatrust.org.uk
