Become a school governor
Time required: 2+ hours
By volunteering just a few hours each month, you could make a vital contribution to improving local education as a school or college governor. Governors work collaboratively with senior staff to drive school improvement; they oversee a school or college’s financial management and strategic direction, as well as analysing school performance – the role is similar to that of a charity trustee. No prior experience is needed and free training is provided. You can find out more about becoming a school governor at Governors for schools website or by emailing: info@governorsforschools.org.uk.
