Want to directly influence your child's school experience? Jackie Cutchey explains why becoming a parent governor benefits you, your child and their school.
If you've already got your hands full juggling family, work and home, the idea of joining a school’s governing body may seem a commitment too far, requiring more hard work and effort than you've got time for. But it can be one of the most rewarding and satisfying ‘jobs’ that you'll ever have. By becoming a governor, you can help take control of your child's learning, and influence the direction that their school is taking. Not only will your efforts as a governor benefit your child and their school, but they can also benefit your own personal and professional development.
