School Governor at St Francis Church of England Aided Primary School and Nursery

We are seeking a School Governor to join St Francis CE Primary School Local Governing Body. They play a vital role in the life of the school - providing strategic oversight, supporting and challenging school leaders, and helping to ensure that every child receives the very best education. As a governor, you will be part of a welcoming and committed board, backed by the expertise and support of the wider Fioretti Trust. A multi-academy trust built on the principles of aspiration, wisdom and compassion. Together in God's love, we aspire to be our best, underpinned by our vision: believing that we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, we aspire to be our best. Everything we do is rooted in our 'High Five Values' of compassion, honesty, integrity, respect and perseverance.

We are looking for people who share our values and want to make a difference. You don't need to have a background in education - we welcome a range of skills, perspectives and experiences. What matters is that you care about children, are willing to ask questions and give your time, and believe in aspiring to be your best.

Governing body meetings take place five times a year, one set up meeting in September and one each term, with an additional meeting in July, and typically last around two hours. Governors are also encouraged to visit the school from time to time - whether for a focused governor visit, a school event or simply to get to know the community. Full training and support is provided.
