Community Governor Needed!

Do you want to make a real difference in the lives of young people in Market Drayton? Are you passionate about shaping the future of education and building strong community partnerships? If so, we’re looking for people like you to join us. Enthusiasm, commitment, and an interest in education are the most important qualities for this role. As a Grove School governor, you’ll play a vital role in supporting and challenging the school to achieve its best. You’ll help shape our strategic direction, influence decisions that impact our children, and contribute to their educational and personal development with a focus on enrichment activities in partnership with the local community.
Who Are We Looking For? We’re particularly keen to hear from individuals who:
Are excited to build partnerships with local organisations, charities, and youth groups, strengthening our ties to the community.
Are skilled at networking, connecting people, and making things happen through collaboration and innovation.
Reflect the diversity of our school community and can bring unique perspectives that resonate with our pupils, parents, and staff.
Share a passion for ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Are keen to act as an ambassador for the school.
Skills and Experiences That Would Be Beneficial: You don’t need to be an education expert or have specialist qualifications. We welcome individuals with experience in areas such as:
Community Engagement: Working with local groups, businesses, or charities to create impactful collaborations.
Networking and Relationship-Building: Forging connections across different sectors to unlock opportunities and create partnerships that benefit the school and its pupils.
Safeguarding or Child Welfare: Advocating for safe, nurturing environments for young people.
Communication: A talent for listening to and representing the voices of others.
Leadership or Management: Guiding strategy and decision-making in a community setting.
If you’re willing to volunteer and share your time, skills, and ideas, we’ll provide training, support, and the opportunity to develop your own leadership skills. Diversity and inclusion in our Trust are encouraged and we welcome applications from all backgrounds.
Please note you will need to be available for meetings once each half term on Tuesdays in the evening from 4-6pm at The Grove School.
How to Apply Help us make a difference where it matters most—right here in Market Drayton. For further information of how to apply or to arrange an informal chat with one of the governance team please contact Joanne Malone, Clerk to Governors at: [email protected] or on 01630 652121.
