Make a difference in Watton; Become a School Governor

Watton Junior School and Watton Westfield Infant & Nursery School are in
need of volunteers from the community to join their Governing Bodies, providing
people with an excellent opportunity to make an enormous difference in the community.

School Governors are critical to the effective running of local schools.
As a school Governor responsibilities include allocating budgets,
appointing senior staff, making decisions on the school’s policies and direction
and essentially ensuring pupils are getting the best education possible.
Training and information is available to all Governors.

School governance is a mutually beneficial voluntary role - not only does it
benefit the education of potentially thousands of children but will also give
you the opportunity to develop new and existing skills.
Training is available for all Governors.

Governors are people like you.  No formal qualifications are necessary
and anyone who is aged 18 or over and has 6-8 hours a month to spare is
invited to apply.  The most effective Governing Bodies consist of Governors
with a blend of experiences, from different cultures and age groups,
so whatever your background you could add enormous value to a local school.

If you are interested in finding out more about the vacancies
in your area and would like more information about how to
become a School Governor please contact the Clerk to the Governors
at the school or contact,
