Governors
Welcome to our Governors’ Section
Please find below details of our Governing Body membership including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor. We have also provided a current Register of Governor Interests, an overview of the Committee Structure and Remit and out Instrument of Government.
The Governors also provide an Annual Report to Parents and Carers which we hope you enjoy reading.
If you wish to contact our Chair of Governors, please telephone the school office or email directly via chairofgovernors@robinhood-junior.org.uk.
Governor Vacancies:
We are a local authority maintained school and have one vacancy for a co-opted community governor and would be delighted if someone who lives and/or works locally would like to volunteer their time and commit to be involved at a governor level. We have a strong leadership team and supportive governors.
We value the diversity of our community and we are keen to hear from people with a financial/audit background or experience in the IT sector and we would particularly welcome younger adults to consider joining us. 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. They champion the work the school does.
Further details about our school and community can be found within our school website and additional information about the role can be found below. Once you have had a look at the information and our website, please get in touch with the school office to let us know you are interested in applying.
