About this Role

Co‑opted Governor vacancy – Hillary Primary School

Hillary Primary School is a vibrant and family-orientated school where children come first. Our highly motivated and committed staff team place a strong emphasis on developing positive relationships with our children and our families, placing nurture at the very heart of everything we do. Investing quality time, getting to know our children and families and understanding our children’s needs are our underlying principles. We have a successful Thrive team who are highly trained to meet the individual needs of all pupils so that all pupils can get the support they need so that disruption to their education is kept to a minimum.

We believe that when a child leaves our school they will be,

ASPIRATIONAL, INQUISITIVE, ARTICULATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, UNIQUE and because of these skills our pupils will THRIVE in a 21st Century Modern Britain.

About the Role

This is a rewarding voluntary role that offers the opportunity to make a real difference to the education and wellbeing of our pupils.

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome interest from individuals who:

Are committed to improving outcomes for children
Value nurture, inclusion, and high aspirations
Can provide constructive challenge and work as part of a team
