Local Board of Governors

An unpaid governor role for people who can bring experience in SEND, boarding or primary education.

Kingsley School campus in Bideford, North Devon

About the role

Kingsley School is inviting expressions of interest from individuals who would like to join our Local Board of Governors and contribute their experience and expertise to the continuing development of the school.

Governors hold the school to account for the quality of education and the safety of its students, and the board meets four times a year with further committee work in between.

The person

Who we are looking for

We would particularly welcome interest from people with experience in:

  • Special educational needs and disabilities
  • Boarding education and pastoral care
  • Prep and primary education

No previous governance experience is needed. What matters is an interest in the school and the time to commit to it.

Next step

How to apply

Expressions of interest go to Claudia Bickford-Smith, Chief Executive Officer, by email. There is no application form for this role, so a short note about your background and what draws you to Kingsley is enough to start the conversation.

Kingsley School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An online check of publicly available information will be completed to assess shortlisted candidates' suitability to work with children, and the successful applicant will also be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and full identity and qualification checks.
