- Anyone over 18 is welcome to Apply! - Young people have so much to offer: As well as bags of enthusiasm, you will have recent first-hand experience of the modern education system and are still in touch with what is important to young people.

- Only parent governors are required to be parents! - The most important quality is simply a desire to help provide children with the best possible standard of education, and so enable them to realise their expectations and aspirations.

- You do not need any specific skills or experience - Everyone has their own unique experiences and opinions to offer and any skills you have developed at work or at university will be relevant and up-to-date. Generally speaking, governors are not highly qualified individuals; they are just regular people who care about children’s education.

- The average time commitment is just 2-4 evening meetings per term - This should allow you to attend the full governor body meetings, participate in one of the committees that support the governing body and do the necessary preparatory reading.
