  Parent Governor Vacancy

  We currently have a vacancy for a parent governor on our school Governing Body.  Parent governors are parents of children who attend the school.  They are voted on to the school’s governing body by other parents whose children attend the school.   School governors play an important role in school life to lead, support and improve.  They act as a between parents, the local community and the school. Governors are impartial and make decisions that seek to improve the school. 

   

  You do not need any particular qualifications to become a school governor as you will benefit from free training, but you do need to be aged 18 or over and you will need to have:

  • an interest in our children’s future

  • the desire to make a difference

  • time and energy

  • a readiness to accept responsibility

  • the commitment to work in a team

  • the enthusiasm to ask questions, listen and learn

  • the motivation to help shape the future of education within Bridgend County Borough.

   

  Once appointed, a school governor’s term of office lasts for four years. You would be expected to attend three governing body meetings per school year, one in each term, and committee meetings, where relevant.
