School governors
Salford schools need people like you!
This page provides information if:
- you are interested in becoming a school governor
- you are an existing school governor in Salford
- you are a parent who wants to know more about how governing bodies work
Being a school governor can be a very rewarding job. You have the opportunity to shape the development of your local school or a school of your choice.
You will also be involved and aware of the latest developments in the way that children are being educated. If you have children this can be a very invaluable thing.
There are normally a team of governors on any one school you will have teacher governors, parent governors and local education authority (LEA) governors. It is usually the Local Authority that will be the route for someone outside to apply for a school that their child does not already go to.
Due to the fact that there is no pay, being a school governor is more of a vocation than a financially rewarding pastime, but that should not stop anyone. For this reason however schools do find it difficult to find a full complement of governors.
