Barncroft Primary School
Attendance data calculated on the basis of the number of possible meetings a Governor was able to attend during the year. For example, either from the time they joined the FGB if mid-way through the academic year, before they were signed off sick, or before they went on extended absence due to maternity leave.
Being a school governor is interesting, worthwhile and rewarding.
What do you need to be a governor? Well firstly, you don’t need to be an educational professional! If you have an interest in the life of the school, backed with enthusiasm and a few hours a term, then you’re ready. Training is provided by the local authority to bring you up to speed in your role as a governor and when you join the governing body, you are assigned a mentor to help you with any questions you may have. If you have skills from outside the world of education that are relevant, then you may find yourself in a unique position to contribute, but more than anything else a commitment to the school and the well-being of the pupils will help you to become an effective governor.
If you’d like to learn more about being a governor please contact the Chair of Governors or the School Office who will be pleased arrange for you to have a chat with one of the current Governors. You can find contact details by clicking the “Contact Us” button in the menu bar above.
