Manchester, United Kingdom Satis Education Ltd Full time

Chair of Governors at Parrs Wood High School (part of The Greater Manchester Education Trust)

Location: Parrs Wood High School

Closing date: 16th December at 9.00am

The Greater Manchester Education Trust (GMET) is looking to recruit a new Chair of Governors at their Parrs Wood High School to help steer the college through the next exciting stage in its journey.

Parrs Wood High School’s Local Academy Committee (LAC) is represented by numerous members of the community. Governors are an important part of our school community and provide essential critical support to the school. They are responsible for raising standards through guidance and provide strategic direction.

We expect all our students to achieve excellent outcomes, both academically and pastorally. We believe this combination will allow our students to make a positive contribution to society, regardless of background. Our excellent results at Parrs Wood clearly demonstrate this, over time, the vast majority of our students and alumni go on to become MPs, Doctors, Games Developers, Plumbers, and Lawyers across the world.

We are committed to building a strong community ethos and this is evidenced through our staff and students positive relationships as well as our interactions with the wider community. We have strong emphasis on student creativity and leadership. We believe in a diverse and balanced curriculum, encouraging not just the traditional academic subjects but also those creative subjects which allow all children to achieve their potential. Learning outside of classroom is essential in making well rounded children and we actively promote and reward participation at extra-curricular activities.

Parrs Wood is a successful community school, with amazing students, dedicated staff and fantastic facilities. I genuinely love our school and what it stands for, we would be delighted to show you our school if you decide to visit.

Every day we are creating the future.

The Parrs Wood Promise

To achieve our Mission we will…

  • Understand and celebrate the diversity of our children and community
  • Provide a curriculum and extra curriculum that engages, motivates and meets our children’s learning needs and aspirations
  • Teach in creative ways that inspire, challenge and develop thinking
  • Provide an experience where all our children know that they are valued and, are encouraged and challenged to achieve their best
  • Demonstrate, and expect, respect for oneself, others and our environment, so that our children can enjoy a healthy, happy and successful life

Parrs Wood High School is currently in an exciting period of development and we need a Chair of Governors who:

  • Wants to make a difference
  • Can offer a strategic outlook
  • Has the ability to analyse complex information; and
  • Will offer challenge and support via a bold, courageous and resilient mindset.

If you have the requisite experience for the role and share in our Parrs Wood Promise we’d love to hear from you. To find out more and register your interest for the role, please contact our Mrs S. Warburton, Headteacher’s PA: admin@pwhs.co.uk

The closing date for application is 16th December at 9.00am. However, the Trust reserves the right to close early and therefore encourages early applications.

 

The Greater Manchester Education Trust is committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all students, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the Trust, irrespective of race, gender, sexuality, disability, faith or religion or socio-economic background. We aim to recruit governors from diverse backgrounds in order to support our schools in the development of cohesive communities. We collect data to help us monitor the diversity of our Trust board and members as well as the membership of our local committees, however the data sample size is too small to publish without breaching personal privacy.
