If you believe in our vision of 'irresistible learning for all' and would like to make a positive impact on children and the community, build professional skills and access high-quality training,  please  contact Shelley and Steph at governance.professional@veritasmat.co.uk for further information stating the school that you are interested in becoming a governor for.  Our schools are:

  • Warden House Primary School, Birdwood Avenue, Deal, Kent.  CT14 9SF
 
Our next round of LAC meetings take place in Early March and we would welcome you to join us to see if becoming a LAC governor is right for you.
 
We look forward to hearing from you.
