We are always searching for high-quality governors to join us across Leigh Academies Trust within our primary, secondary and SEN academies. Being a governor is a tremendously valuable and rewarding role. We encourage our governors to become involved in the wider life of our academies and to challenge and support our academies to reach new heights each year.

The opportunity to give back to the community through volunteering as a governor is a privilege and we are looking for high-calibre, motivated and dynamic new governors from a diverse range of backgrounds, skills and experiences to register their interest today!

Academy Board Governors are required, through the Chair of the Academy Board, to work with the Principal(s), senior leadership team(s) and other governors to drive the strategic development of each academy and raise standards of achievement for all pupils. Governors will also shape and champion the vision, ethos and culture of the academy. Our governors are expected to make several visits to their academies during each academic year, enabling them to understand and monitor the academies’ work and progress. Following their visits, reports can be submitted for consideration by the relevant Academy Board so that important lessons can be learned and outstanding issues addressed.

All we require at this stage is for you to fill in a registration of interest application so that we can get a full understanding of your experience and why you feel you would make a great governor. Our team will then make contact with you further to you registering your details to discuss what we have to offer, current opportunities across our academies or those that may be available in due course.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask our committed and knowledgeable Talent Team; 01634 412 263 / talent@latrust.org.uk.
