Go back to school – become a governor!

Volunteering as a school governor offers the chance to grow and develop skills in a range of work related areas at the same time as making a fantastic contribution to your community. Governors act as the non-executive board of the school. They allocate budgets, set the strategic direction and appoint and evaluate and appoint the head teacher.

Teaching - getting
work experience?
