Community Governor Vacancy for Kenninghall Primary School

Posted 12/07/22

Are you ready for your next challenge? Do you want to promote and support positive change?

A vacancy for a community governor has arisen as we expand the Kenninghall Local Governing Body (LGB).

We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic and responsive candidate to join the team.

A governor’s role is voluntary, can be challenging but is ultimately rewarding

 You will be a community governor appointed by the Enrich Learning Trust, of which the school is part of.  so being motivated and approachable is essential.

The role requires working alongside other governors – Staff, parent and Community/Trust appointed governors to support, and question school policies including safeguarding, health & safety, equality and anti-bullying, the curriculum, key data, Key Performance Indicators etc. You are expected to attend LGB meetings of which there are 5 throughout the school year, usually in the evening each lasting about two hours.

All governors must have a DBS check in line with our safeguarding policy and all have to undertake a training induction before starting as a governor. There are bespoke professional development opportunities with a lot of the training now carried out online, via Microsoft Teams.

We are a supportive, friendly and welcoming team. If you are interested and want to know more, please contact Steve Gowers Chair of Governors at chairofgov@kenninghall.norfolk.sch.uk
