Become an Academy Governor

Are you a passionate individual within the Churchill community – perhaps a parent, carer, alumnus, or local resident? Do you want to broaden your professional development and play a vital role in shaping the future of our students, staff, and wider community? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

Our Local Governing Body thrives on the richness and diversity of our community and we're looking for individuals who reflect this to join us as a governor. 

As a governor, you will play a key role in shaping the future of the Academy for our students, staff and community. By working together, we want you to bring an outside perspective to help support and challenge us as we implement strategies and provisions. 

You will work in partnership with the other governors to form the Academy’s Local Governing Body (LGB). The LGB is responsible for providing confident strategic leadership, and robust accountability, oversight and assurance over the Academy’s educational and financial performance. 

The Local Governing Body meets six times a year, with one meeting allocated to each term. All of our governors are volunteers and donate their time and skills to support and guide the Academy in its pursuit of school improvement. Governors are imperative to the Academy and we value the governing body greatly.
