Become a Governor
Their future - in your hands.
Are you passionate about your community and education? Then join Aldridge Education as a school governor and help shape the future of young people across our family of schools in the North West, London and Brighton.
What does a governor do?
Governors are part of a Local Governing Committee (LGC), working collectively to provide strategic oversight and support to school leadership. You’ll play an important role in helping ensure every child receives the best possible education - working alongside staff, students and parents to make that happen.
As a governor, you’ll be part of a team that:
- Champions excellence: reviewing progress against our School Risk Register and Action Plan, supporting school improvement and removing barriers to success.
- Boosts community engagement: helping our schools connect with local partners, build meaningful relationships and raise their profile.
- Gets involved in school life: visiting termly, seeing the culture in action and experiencing the impact of your contribution.
- Shapes the future: attending six LGC meetings a year, reviewing key documents, asking questions and using data to drive improvement.
