This Volunteers Week, we’re celebrating the dedication of volunteers who make a difference to thousands of schools as school governors.

This Volunteers Week is a time for us to come together and thank all volunteers for their invaluable contribution, especially during the last year.

If you’re interested in becoming a governor, join our webinar to learn more about the role. Read more details below.

Volunteer as a governor and support your community

School governors have a varied and important role in helping the school run effectively.

They have 3 core functions:

  • Planning the strategic direction of the school
  • Overseeing financial performance of the school and ensuring money is well spent
  • Holding the headteacher or school leadership to account

The governor role is strategic rather than operational. Governors don’t get involved with the day to day running of a school, instead supporting and challenging the school’s leadership team to drive school improvement.
