Why become a governor?
Schools and Academies in Warwickshire are seeking skilled and motivated volunteers who are committed to improving education and making a positive difference to children’s futures.
We believe that every child and young person will:
- attend a good or outstanding school or setting
- achieve well whatever their starting point or circumstances
- go on to positive destinations
Governors need to both support and challenge the Headteacher to ensure rigorous attention is paid to raising and maintaining standards in line with both school plans and government requirements.
