School Governor

Job Type: Pastoral
Actual Salary: Voluntary

About the Role

The role of a school governor is to contribute to the work of the governing board in ensuring high standards of achievement for all children and young people at St Vincent’s school by:

Supporting school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction
Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The role of the school governor can be demanding, but very rewarding. Under usual circumstances, you should expect to spend between 10 and 20 days a year on your governing responsibilities. The top end of this commitment equates to about half a day per week in term time. If you do not have that time to spare, then the role probably is not for you.

Activities include:

Undertaking training in the role – including induction training
Attending meetings of the governing body, usually outside of school hours
Reading reports and papers and keeping up to date on the progress that the school is making
Visiting the school from time to time during the school day
