School Governor

School Governor

Location:

All WPT Schools

We’re Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT) – a multi‑academy trust with eight primary schools, five secondary schools, one sixth form and one Central Team under our umbrella.

We’re dotted across Rotherham, South Yorkshire, with one school based in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

At WPT, students are at the heart of everything we do, and we aim to send all children into an ever‑changing world, able and qualified to play their full part in it. To give them the best educational experience possible, we recognise the importance of investing in and supporting our colleagues.

Each school is supported by its own community‑based Local Governing Body (LGB) composed of parents/carers, local community and business representatives, and teaching and support staff.

Schools across the country require people to volunteer as Governors on their LGBs. Becoming a School Governor can have a positive impact on the young people in your local community and help to drive school improvement. An LGB plays an integral role in a school’s success, working together with senior school leadership and guiding their strategic direction.

Join us in holding leaders to account and driving educational excellence across the region.

All Governors will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. You must be 18+ to apply.

In line with our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students, the appointment will be subject to an enhanced criminal record check. Further information about the Disclosure Scheme can be found at
