Pirehill First School in Walton is looking to appoint two co-opted governors to join its governing board.
The voluntary roles offer local people the chance to help shape the future of the Stone school, support its leadership team and contribute to the education of its pupils.
What does a school governor do?
Governors help to:
- Set the strategic direction of the school
- Oversee the school’s financial performance
- Help ensure pupils receive a high quality education
- Support and challenge the school’s leadership team
Who is the school looking for?
Applicants should have:
- A passion for education and young people
- The ability to analyse and interpret information
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- A willingness to ask questions and offer constructive challenge
Skills in accountancy, finance or human resources would be useful, although they are not essential.
Previous governance experience is not required, as full training and support will be provided.
What is the time commitment?
The role is unpaid and is expected to take around six to eight hours a month during term time.
Governors are expected to attend half termly board meetings. They may also attend school events and spend time in school as part of their linked governor responsibilities.
How to apply
Anyone interested in the roles can contact Chair of Governors Louise Kennedy at lkennedy@pirehill.staffs.sch.uk.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 1 September 2026.
