We are looking for LA/Community Governors with relevant experience.

Ysgol Treffynnon are looking to recruit innovative and committed individuals who share our vision for high quality education to become governors at our school.

Do you have a genuine desire to help improve standards of education within our school in partnership with the Headteacher and Governing Body? We are looking for a Community or Local Authority governor who has knowledge and understanding of modern education issues as well as a knowledge and interest within the community of Holywell.

You would need to commit to regular attendance at full governing body meetings, as well as any meetings of any committees of the governing body to which you are elected. We are seeking new members of the governing body who have relevant skills, knowledge and experience that match the challenges of our school.

The role of a governor would be to drive the school  at a strategic level. You will bring an outside perspective to the running of the school, supporting and challenging by asking the what, why, how and when of our senior leadership team. Governors use their own professional skills and life experience to compliment school staff to ensure Ysgol Treffynnon continue to provide exceptional education for our local community and is able to be agile and responsive to our current and future needs.

Be part of the largest volunteer group in the country  and gain valuable skills that will have a positive impact on your personal and professional life and you will make a real difference to children, young people, their school and the local community.

The Governor Appointments Panel will consider on the basis of the contribution applicants can bring to a school in terms of their skills and experience.

If you fit the bill, please email [email protected] detailing your skills and experience and why you think you would  be a good fit for our school.
