YOUR CHILDS EDUCATION NEEDS YOU
OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP NEW SKILLS

From the WMDC Press and Communications Office

An opportunity to develop new skills and an understanding of education are among the benefits of being a school governor.

Wakefield council is calling all adults across the district to help take an interest in the future generation's education. A governor is a huge part of the community, taking on major decision such as issues regarding school uniform, which teachers to employ and how the school shall function.

No previous experience or qualifications are required, just good common sense and commitment to the school and the interests of the children. Full training and support are provided and the Council has a scheme for time off from work to carry out any responsibilities during the working day.

There are vacancies in most parts of the District and particularly at:

  • Redhill Junior School (Castleford);

  • Sharlston Primary School (including the unit for pupils with visual impairments);

  • Throstle Farm Junior and Infant School (Knottingley);

  • Wakefield District Community School (for secondary pupils with emotional, behavioural and social difficulties and secondary pupils excluded permanently from other schools).

If you would like more information, please visit the School Governor Services link on the right hand side or you can telephone 01924 305379.

Please send any e-mail enquiries to governor.support@wakefield.gov.uk

Thank you for your help - your support can make a difference!
