Buckingham Community Middle School and Shoreham First School are appealing for volunteers from the local community to join their governing body, providing people with an excellent opportunity to make an enormous difference in the community.

School Governors form the largest volunteering force in the country and anyone over 18 can apply. It is important to stress that Community Governors do not need to be parents or have any particular skills to add value to a school governing body. The most important requirement is that you want to make a positive difference to the education of local children.

As a collective group, governors have responsibility for matters such as planning the school's long term future, allocating budgets and appointing senior staff. Therefore the School Governor role not only benefits the education of potentially thousands of children, but also provides the volunteer with opportunities for self development and training.

The school governor role is the most important role in education- Governors are critical to the effective running of local schools. So if you have 6-8 hours a month to spare and would like to help Buckingham Community Middle School or Shoreham First School continue to deliver the highest possible standards of education, the Schools Governors One-Stop Shop would like to hear from you. br>
