Volunteer Governor opportunity

About The Woodlands School

The Woodlands School is a specialist provision for children and young people with Autism or Social Communication Difficulties Disorder with associated learning difficulties. We are a proud, vibrant community dedicated to the education and development of students with Autism. We firmly believe that disability does not limit what individuals can achieve. Our commitment is to foster an environment where each student is valued for their unique strengths and abilities.

We recognise that education is about more than academic success; it is also about preparing students for life beyond school. With this in mind, we focus on developing essential life skills that empower our students to become independent, successful adults. We engage in collaborative partnerships with families, professionals and the local community to create an inclusive atmosphere that nurtures personal development.

We have three Campuses in Milton Keynes. Our Primary Department is sited at Hertford Place in Bletchley. The Middle and Upper Departments are at Hazeley and a further secondary campus at Galley Hill.

Join Our Governing Board

The Woodlands School is looking for Community Members to join our Governing body.  This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone from our community to help support our school. We are particularly keen for members that have a strong interest in finance and business or education to support our growing school.

We hold 2 governor meetings per term on a Wednesday from 4:30pm.

Why Join Us?
A Community member, as part of the Governing Board, will help to ensure that all children at the school are receiving a high-quality education and that they are making rapid progress towards achieving their full potential. Governors also consider whether resources available to the school are appropriate and deployed effectively.
