Job Introduction
CHAIR OF GOVERNORS
We are seeking someone to take on the role of Chair of Governors at this well-regarded, community-centred Church of England Primary School in the Fulflood area of Winchester. The school has an existing supportive and committed governing body and strong links to the local parish church.
Interested individuals, who would ideally have some experience of governance in an education setting, are invited to contact us for a no commitment discussion.
SKILLS
Governing Body meetings are held at the school each half term, typically for 2 hours in the early evening. In addition, there are two sub-committees (Resources & Personnel and Curriculum & Community), which the Chair can attend if desired.
The role would involve regular liaison with the Headteacher either in person or remotely and occasional visits to the school.
While a background in education is not necessarily required, some experience of school governance would be useful. The role is supported by a committed and active team of Governors who between them, possess a range of valuable skills.
If volunteering at a primary school and making a real difference is an area in which you have an interest, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please contact the School to speak to the Headteacher and/or current Chair of Governors. Telephone 01962-852591 or email us at adminoffice@western.hants.sch.uk

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant employment checks.
