“

Our son is so happy to go to school every day! It is such a relief and comfort to know he is happy and settled in a wonderful environment with kind and caring staff members. Our son has come on leaps and bounds and it’s lovely to see the updates through the app of all the different activities he does every day. We can’t thank the staff enough for the brilliant first year he’s had.

“

I would highly recommend this school to anybody. Even though my daughter is one of the youngest in the year, she has excelled in all areas….Great teachers and great school.

“

Excellent school, wonderful and dedicated staff that put children first.... First class education in Shepshed, the Headteacher should be proud of her team and effective leadership!

Becoming a Governor

Would you like to be a Governor?

  • Do you have an interest in improving education for all pupils, not just your own child?
  • Do you have the skills and personality we require to support and challenge the school to continually strive for improvement?
  • Do you have, or could you make time for up to 6 governing body meetings a year (evenings); a termly committee meeting (daytime) and a daytime school visit per term?

We sometimes have vacancies for governors, someone who is a committed, confident, proactive, motivated, good communicator and someone who can challenge in a professional manner. 

What is expected of a governor?

  • Maintaining confidentiality at all times
  • Attendance at up to 6 governing body meetings a year (1 per half term, evenings)
  • Attendance at occasional training sessions
  • Joining one of our committees (usually a day-time meeting; 3 per year)
  • Taking responsibility for a curriculum and School Improvement area (school time visits), providing written reports and verbal feedback to the governing body.

What we will do to support you:

  • Ensure you have access to the ‘ready, steady, govern’ training sessions run by the education authority to ensure that you are prepared to be an effective governor.
  • Discuss with you any areas for other training that you feel you may need to support you in your role.
  • Provide support from the Chair, Deputy Chair, Head Teacher and other members of the governing body.

Although this may sound daunting there is a lot of support available, and current members of the governing body will tell you that there is a great sense of satisfaction in having an impact on improving the education for all the pupils at St. Botolph’s. We have fantastic pupils and staff who make being a governor enjoyable too!

 

When vacancies arise, we can recruit governors in the following categories:

  • Parents Governors - elected or appointed in accordance with the articles of association
  • Foundation Governors - elected or appointed by the Leicestershire Diocese following our foundations as a Church school 
  • Other Local Governors appointed by our Full Governing Body - this can include other parents
  • Associate governors (without voting rights) - to provide additional skills and capacity as needed/identified by our skills audit

We look for skills and experience in the following fields

  • Business Management
  • Finance
  • Education
  • HR
  • Project Management
  • Health & Safety
  • Law

If you feel you possess any skills and experience in the areas above and would like to know more, please contact Mrs Pepper, Head teacher, who can organise a meeting with our Chair of Governors, Emily Coleman.
