The work of the Local Governing Body
Governors question, challenge, advise and engage in all aspects of running our academies; checking that leaders' actions are being made in the best interests of children, young people and families. Enclosed is a local governor role profile giving more detailed information.
We are always interested in hearing from potential volunteers who feel they could make a difference to our young people's futures. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our Governance Professional, Jayne Newson, on 08452 415175 or email jayne.newson@sharemat.co.uk.

About the Role:
As a Governor, you will serve as a ‘critical friend’ to the academy, questioning, challenging, and supporting the leadership team to ensure every child has access to an exceptional education in a nurturing, safe environment. You’ll help ensure that the academy remains true to its vision and continues to provide a first-class learning experience for all students.

What’s Involved:
- Attend 4 meetings per year (approx. 2 hours each)
- Prepare for meetings by reviewing papers in advance
- Opportunity to take on lead roles or join trust board committees, depending on availability and expertise.
Why Join?
- Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of local education.
- Collaborate with a dedicated, diverse group of individuals to support and challenge senior leadership.
- Help support a rich, broad curriculum that empowers students to thrive academically and socially.
