Co-Opted Governors x 2 (volunteer role)
Contract: None. Volunteer role.
Salary: None (unpaid volunteer)
The Governing Body of Alexandra Primary School wishes to appoint two self-motivated individuals with current or recent experience in a senior leadership position within a primary school setting to join our Governing Body at an exciting stage in the school’s development. The school recently welcomed a new Head Teacher and is in the process of consulting on conversion from a Local Authority-maintained school to an Academy within Bourne Education Trust (BET), of which the school is already an Associate Member.
The Co-Opted Governors we are seeking will become full voting members of our Full Governing Body (FGB) and be expected to prepare for, attend and follow up on 4 FGB meetings a year as well as participate in our Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC), also 4 times per annum. Meetings are held in term time. Full Governing Body meetings are typically held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays from 5.00pm to 7.30pm, while committee meetings are usually held during the school day at variable times. Hybrid attendance is possible for most meetings, though in-person attendance is preferred for FGB meetings, where possible.
Governors are also expected to undertake other ad hoc responsibilities so candidates should have reasonable flexibility & capacity to do this.
Should the school join Bourne Education Trust as a full member in due course, the governance model and meeting structure will align with Trust requirements, but we will continue to need the same number of governors and anticipate broadly the same time commitment will be required.
Previous experience in a similar governance role is helpful, but not essential.
For an initial conversation, please email hr@alexandra.school to arrange a call with the Chair of Governors.
