We currently have a vacancy for a co-opted governor on our friendly and welcoming school governing body and are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who would be interested in taking on this enjoyable and rewarding role.

Are you passionate about achieving the best possible outcomes for children?

Are you inquisitive, curious and enthusiastic?

Do you have good interpersonal skills and enjoy learning and working together as a team?

Have you ever thought about volunteering as a school governor?

Our governors are a collaborative team of volunteers who work closely with the headteacher, making strategic decisions vital to the successful running of the school, and which will directly affect the education and wellbeing of our children. 

No experience of governance or education is needed to join our governing body. We provide a full induction for new governors, have lots of training resources, and our experienced governors are happy to provide help and advice.  All applications are valued and welcome.

How do I apply?

If you are interested in becoming a governor at our school, please contact our Clerk to Governors Julie Fowler - clerk@whitecross.derby.sch.uk, or contact the school office either in person or by phone - 01332 371876.
