Flourish Together Federation

High Halden and Woodchurch CEP Schools

Joined through the values of love and hope, we journey together so that our school communities can live in all its fullness and flourish as God intended. 

Governor Vacancies

Are you enthusiastic about education? Do you want to help make a difference to the lives of local children? Are you willing to volunteer? If so, then we want to hear from you. 

We are looking for committed people to join our Federation’s Governing Board as Co-opted Governors. We have a number of vacancies in the co-opted governor category and would welcome applications from local people.  

The Governing Board operates at a strategic level and is not involved in the day-to-day running of our schools. We are responsible for both the conduct of the schools and for the promotion of high standards. We carry out this role by setting the vision, ensuring that the schools work efficiently and effectively towards achieving their vision, and that the schools provide a high quality education for their pupils. This is done by building a thorough knowledge of the schools and their communities, by both supporting and constructively challenging the school, and by ensuring accountability and compliance.

Governors need not be experts in the field of education. What they do need is an interest in our schools and in the welfare of the  pupils, together with the time and willingness to get involved. 

If you would like to find out more about how you can contribute to governance at our schools or have any questions, then please contact either High Halden or Woodchurch school office who will then arrange for our Chair of Governors to contact you.
