Opportunity in Old Buckenham

School governors needed

Chapel Green School is a complex needs school located on the outskirts of Old Buckenham and is looking for individuals to join our Governing Body. If you are a driven professional with expertise in one of the following fields we would love to hear from you:

• ·         Finance & Accounting

• ·         Business & Marketing

• ·         Leading in the Education sector

• ·         HR

• ·         Medical

Our leadership team upholds the highest standards for teaching and learning and are driven by an ambition for their pupils; celebrating the significant positive impact the school has on each and every one of its students. The whole school community carries an established vision of aspiration, resilience and compassion: supporting pupils from the age of 3½ to 19.

 

If you are a professional, with a passion for education, we invite you to consider joining our Governing body, to help shape the future of a unique and truly child-centred school. Governors are concerned with the strategic aims and objectives of the school; helping to set and monitor the progress towards these aims. Governors also shape and review school policies, ensuring relevant compliance. Finally, governors help to monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards its aims through providing effective support and challenge to the Headteacher. In order to achieve this, school governors are equipped with interpersonal skills of tact and diplomacy, able to uphold confidentiality and self-evaluate. A governor does not need to be an expert in all areas of governance but will take responsibility for a key area of professional expertise. Relevant training will be provided which all governors are required to attend in addition to attending at least 6 FGB meetings per academic year and any occasional committees if required. The governor role is not paid, however, agreed expenses such as travel are reimbursed.
