As part of Volunteers' Week, today I'm celebrating school governors.
One of the questions I'm asked most often is: "What does a school governor actually do?"
The answer is that governors help provide strategic oversight, support and challenge school leaders, monitor key areas such as safeguarding and educational outcomes, and help ensure schools continue to improve for children and young people.
Since becoming a Community Governor at Idsall School (Marches Academy Trust), I've had the opportunity to see first-hand the dedication of teachers, support staff, leaders and fellow governors.
Governors come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. Many of us don't work in education directly, but bring different skills, experiences and perspectives to the table.
It's a rewarding way to contribute to your local community and support the next generation.
A huge thank you to school governors everywhere who volunteer their time to help schools thrive! ... See MoreSee Less
