Do you feel like you could be a school governor? Do you own or work in a local business?

We're currently working with Governors for Schools, a national charitable organisation, to highlight the need for school governors in our area. In particular we're looking to encourage businesses and their employees to support local schools by becoming governors.

School governing boards have overall strategic responsibility for their schools, so it's a real chance to make a difference where it counts. Governing Boards are made up of volunteers from the community who are willing to provide the challenge and accountability needed to ensure school improvement and to help develop good educational provision for all children and young people.

If you feel this is something you could do, then why not come along to our information event.

Date: 16 May 2019
Time: 16.00 - 17.00
Venue: Innovation centre, Newport

With over 100 vacancies throughout island schools we need you to make a difference!
