School Governor

We are looking for co opted governors to join our Governing Body at Lime Walk Primary School. As a governor you will be a volunteer who makes a vital contribution to the success of the school.

Lime Walk Primary School is a one form entry school with children starting Reception in the autumn term prior to their fifth birthday, and provides 30 hours Nursery provision for pre school children.

The school has 8 classrooms and extensive grounds including nature areas, playgrounds and a large playing field.

We are an inclusive school that engages with all members of the school community to see that all children receive an education that is aspirational, inspiring, engaging, and one that will live fondly in their memories for many years to come. Every day children build on existing knowledge and learn to apply skills through a range of activities independently and collaboratively. As part of our learning culture, lessons are adapted to meet individual needs and ensure that learning is relevant and personalised to enable everyone to achieve and succeed through a variety of outcomes. Every child is encouraged to make links between concepts taught in the classroom and their own experiences.

At the heart of the school's values is the desire to create an environment where children have the opportunity to succeed and utilise their ability to make healthy choices.

For most people, becoming a school governor or trustee for the first time is a step into an unfamiliar environment that can be quite daunting.

As a governor you will be part of a corporate body known as the Governing Board. The role of the governing board is critical to the effectiveness of the school. You will work with our school's senior leaders to set the culture, values and budgets.

Through monitoring and supportive challenge, you will make a real and noticeable difference to the children, their families and the broader community of Lime Walk Primary School.

Governors make decisions on the strategic direction of the school, set strategic goals and assess the progress being made towards those targets.

• Commit to attend meetings
• Attend training
• Visits to the school or academy during the day

This role may be particularly of interest if you have skills in finance/accounting, human resources, marketing, or education, but we invite applications from anyone who is interested in helping the school be the best it can be. Full training is available, and governors are encouraged to attend regular training sessions, either in person or online.

We are looking for someone who can attend six full governing body meetings per year which are held in the evenings.
