Parent Governor

Offering a parent’s perspective 

As part of Turner Schools, our Board of Trustees are the accountable body but local governors are the all important "eyes and ears" on the ground; they are "critical friends" who help steer the strategic direction of the school and are advocates for our parents and pupils.

Two parent governors sit on our school board (Challenge & Community Boards - CCB). They are vital members of our CCBs bringing the unique perspective of a parent to help us provide the best possible education for every child.

What We Are Looking For

You do not need formal qualifications. We provide full induction training and ongoing support. We value diversity of thought, opinion and background as this gives us a wider perspective!

The Essentials:

• A commitment to the school’s values and success.

• The ability to work as part of a team.

• A willingness to complete training, prepare for meetings, ask questions and listen.

• Availability to attend 4 meetings, and two visits per year.
