Welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming a Governor. Please see attached recruitment pack that has been designed to give you a clear understanding of who we are, what we believe in, and the vital role Governors play in shaping our vision for the future. 

Governors are at the heart of ensuring that Empower Trust school’s provide the very best opportunities for every member of our community. By offering strategic guidance, challenge, and support, you will help us maintain high standards, make informed decisions, and plan confidently for years ahead.

Whether you’re motivated by a passion for education, a desire to give back to your community, or an interest in developing your own professional skills, becoming a Governor is a meaningful and rewarding way to make a real difference. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and experiences who share our commitment to positive change.

The important role as a volunteer supports effective school leadership and achieves best outcomes for our children’s futures. The effectiveness of a governing board depends on the skills, commitment and knowledge of its members and how they work together with school leaders.

Formed in June 2018 with 6 founding schools, and now with 8 schools in our growing family of schools, we are a Primary focussed Trust with a combination of Primary, Junior and Infant schools, many with Nursery provision. Empower Trust celebrates the fact that every school is different. Each academy retains a unique ethos and character to meet the needs of its local community. Local Governing Bodies ensure local needs are prioritised. We aim to support all children to become successful learners and to develop into young people of whom the family, school and community can be proud.

For further information about this important role, please contact the school office, who will be happy to provide an indication of Governor meeting frequency, days, and times.
