School Governor needed - Nick Hancock (13th Jun 2007 - 06:21:21) On a slightly more serious note I'm afraid ... Liphook Junior School needs a new volunteer Community Governor to join its governing body. We're looking for someone to provide a perspective drawn from experience outside the school environment. This is a rewarding and fulfilling role. It offers a strong sense of team work and a real opportunity to make a difference. This is a particularly exciting time to be a governor at Liphook Juniors as in September we have a new head teacher joining who is full of ideas for the school. Community governors don’t need any connection with the school. Most importantly you need an interest in education and in particular the future of the village Junior School. Business experience – eg. handling budgets, or personnel matters relevant for staff recruitment – or alternatively experience working in education could be useful too but is not essential. Most of all what we need is an interest in and enthusiasm for the progress of young people, and time to commit to meetings and a training programme provided by Hampshire Local Education Authority. The full governing body meets on one or two evenings a term. In most terms governors also attend two evening committee meetings. Governors also make at least one daytime visit to the school during the school year. This is an opportunity to remember the real reason for being a governor and in fact many manage more visits than this. If you are interested, please contact me via the school on 01428 722490 or email: nick.hancock@liphook-jun.hants.sch.uk, or write to Liphook C of E Junior School, Avenue Close, Liphook, Hampshire GU30 7QE stating why you feel you would suit the role. There is more information on the Hampshire web-site on: http://www3.hants.gov.uk/education/governors/governors-govrecruit.htm .
