What skills and experience we're looking for

School Governor

Do you care about young people, your local community, and making a real difference – all without quitting your day job?

Then we’ve got just the role for you...

🌟 Volunteer as a School Governor! 🌟

Geddington CofE Primary School is on the lookout for sharp minds, big hearts, and fresh perspectives to help shape the future of education. You don’t need to be a teacher – just someone who’s ready to ask the right questions, support the right decisions, and champion the right changes.

No experience? No problem. You’ll get full training and support – all you need is a commitment to helping young people thrive.

What the school offers its staff

What’s in it for you?

✔️ Boost your CV with leadership experience

✔️ Flex your brain in a new way

✔️ Meet passionate, like-minded people

✔️ Give back to your community in a BIG way

✔️ Occasional biscuits at meetings (we’re working on upgrading to cake...)

What do governors actually do?

  • Help set the school’s vision and strategy

  • Support and challenge the headteacher

  • Make decisions on budgets, performance, and policies

  • Be a critical friend, not a clipboard-wielding inspector

🕒 Time commitment? We have 8 meetings per year, plus a bit of reading, a few school visits during the daytime and enthusiasm in between. That’s less time than you’ve probably spent watching Netflix this month.
