Oak Green School is a very special place to be. It is a school that allows children to thrive within a secure, safe, welcoming environment. As Ofsted stated in their report of 26/09/17 ‘There is a strong sense of joy about learning in the school’. We work in partnership with pupils, parents, staff, governors and local services to meet the needs of the community. The inspiring curriculum ensures that we have a sharp focus on meeting the individual needs of all of our learners. Every member of the school community is celebrated for the positive contributions they make. The nurturing and aspirational culture within the school is the result of many years of hard work by the staff, governors and whole school community. Why should I volunteer to be a school governor? School governors make a valuable contribution to children’s education, opportunities and futures. Being a school governor is a challenging but hugely rewarding role. It will give you the chance to make a real difference to young people, give something back to your local community and use and develop your skills in a board level environment. You will be assigned a governor mentor and there is plenty of training available to help you learn about governance in education. What will be expected of me? The average time commitment is 5 to 8 hours per month, although it will vary depending on the needs of the school and your role on the board. We hold Full Governing Board meetings once a term. We also have three governing board committees, that hold termly meetings. Depending on your skill set, you will be a member of at least one of the three committees. If necessary, meetings are held virtually. Governors are also encouraged to visit the school and to attend events such as the Christmas shows and the Year 6 Graduation Ceremony. Over the past decade, I have found being a school governor an enormously enjoyable and rewarding voluntary role. Watching children grow into kind, smart people, in a safe, nurturing environment is simply amazing.
