Are you looking for a new challenge or interest? Something that can add real value to children’s lives and their education?

The Governing Body of The Discovery School is seeking an enthusiastic and committed volunteer to join our outstanding team. By becoming a Governor, you will be able to contribute to the future development of our fantastic pupils.

At The Discovery School:

  • We aim to provide an outstanding education that develops happy, resilient, and confident children.
  • We are committed to enabling our children to achieve their full potential academically, creatively, and socially.
  • We want our children to be aspirational and to have the self-confidence needed to exceed their own personal best.
  • We believe that every child is a unique individual with a skill to be nurtured; potential is without limits.

We don’t expect you to be an expert in education or knowledgeable about governance - we welcome volunteers from all walks of life.

We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with an interest, skills, experience or understanding in any of the following areas:

  1. Local community/business links
  2. Experience of procurement/purchasing
  3. Experience of Human Resource policies and process

We encourage applications from all members of society, regardless of background, gender, ethnicity, disability, or age (as long as you're over 18) and look forward to hearing from you.

Please call 01732 847000 or email: cgovernors@discovery.kent.sch.uk for more information.
