Becoming a Governor
If you are interested in becoming a governor there are various types of membership of the governing body:
- co-opted governor
- parent governor
- staff governor
You may represent different sections of our school community, but the roles and responsibilities are the same for each type of governor.
We are pleased to announce that we are currently have two vacancies for Parent Governors to join our Governing Body. This is a voluntary position which will give you the opportunity to support Alderman Pounder by bringing your ideas, perspectives and experience to the Governor team.
We recognise that our current governing body doesn’t fully represent the diversity of our School community and we would really like to encourage all of our parents to think about nominating themselves. We know that a diverse governing body will best support our School to be the best it can be, and commitment, energy and enthusiasm to learn is the most important thing we are looking for from our Parent Governors.
To help you to decide whether this might be a good opportunity for you, our current Chair of Governors, who started with us as a Parent Governor, has shared a little about her experience of the role below:
"I became a parent governor and Chair of Governors in summer 2023. There was lots of training and support available to help me find my feet in the role, and I’ve really enjoyed being part of the governing board so far. I have found it really interesting to learn more about how the School works, and to be able to share some of my own experience from work to help out. It feels like there is space for everyone to share their perspectives at meetings, and there’s never a silly question.
