Being a school governor is very rewarding, it includes giving to the community, and also gives new governors the chance to learn new skills. It’s not a full-time job but it does require a regular commitment. You don’t have to be an education expert to be a governor. It’s the range of experiences that governors bring to the job that make a great governing team. What you do need to have is an interest in education, energy and enthusiasm.

If you are interested in becoming a governor, or finding out more, please email post@ypbd.co.uk and mark for the attention of our Chair of Governors (Alison Duncan).
