What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for committed individuals from the local community, and from all walks of life and backgrounds to join our Schools Standards Board. We are looking for those who can share their viewpoints, experience, expertise, skills and fresh ideas to enhance the opportunities for our children and families within the community.

Your opportunity

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to join one of our School Standards Board (SSB) at Windmill Primary School, for a four year period. As an SSB member, you will contribute to and monitor the school’s development plan, which is focused on the key improvement priorities for the school. SSBs are also the Trust Board’s interface with key stakeholders: parents, staff and the community. You will be involved in gathering and responding to feedback from parents and staff, and developing and maintaining community links for the school.

SSB members provide regular feedback to the Trust Board on the performance of their school and the feedback from stakeholders, contributing to the overall improvement of the Trust. SSBs also have the opportunity to influence the strategy of the Trust as a whole.

Excellent training and support is provided and you don't need education experience.

What we are looking for

We are looking for somebody who:

thinks strategically, and is able to contribute to the development of the schools priorities,
is able to listen, reflect and learn from a range of viewpoints
is able to establish clear expectations for school leaders
has the ability to analyse and interpret data and statistics
has the confidence to ask questions and challenge school leaders in an appropriate way

Being a member of the School Standards Board is a rewarding one, where you will gain insight into the workings of our schools and play a part in improving outcomes for every pupil. Our school vision is that we will instil aspiration and high expectations to empower every child to become a successful citizen of the world through excellence in all that we do. Everything the SSB do has a role to play to make our vision a reality for pupils.
