Colebrook Infant Academy is an inclusive and welcoming school at the heart of the local community. We are part of the Blue Kite Academy Trust (BKAT) and everything we do has the wellbeing of our children at its core. We have an exciting opportunity for an inspirational governor to join our small but hard working team.

Governors are collectively responsible for the strategic management of a school and therefore crucial in ensuring progression and planning for the school’s future. Meeting 6 times a year, the local governing body provides challenge and support to the headteacher, monitors the budget and ensures the curriculum is broad and balance. It’s an exciting and varied role, with substantial benefits for the volunteer.

Governance is a good opportunity for personal development - volunteers can be certain of developing new skills and gaining a broad knowledge of areas such as HR, finance and of course, the education system. The Blue Kite Academy Trust also provides a comprehensive training package to governors, so there is plenty of opportunity to make the most of the role.

More than this though, school governance is a chance to make a substantial difference to the lives of local children
