We’d love to hear from anyone who feels they have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to be a governor. Please just email or speak to the Headteacher who can explain the process, what vacancies are available and what the role involves.

What can I expect?

You’ll be joining a hard-working and committed group of governors who take their leadership role very seriously.

Governors usually serve a four year term of office once appointed or elected, and broadly speaking each year you’ll need to:

• attend three meetings of the full governing body during each school year
• attend one meeting a term for every committee of the governing body you sit on
• visit the school once a term and prepare a follow up report for your fellow governors each time
• get involved with some case work in respect of pupils or staff, e.g. attending a disciplinary hearing

You can find out more about becoming a school governor on the Islington Council website.
