Governor Opportunities

J_oin our Sixth Form Governing Body_

Established in 1992, Christ the King is a family of three Catholic sixth form colleges in the South London area, dedicated to the education and development of the whole person.

With an ethos based on the wisdom, love and humanity of Christ, our sixth forms are a very special place to be. Our success is founded on our strong Catholic ethos and sense of values that underpin all aspects of sixth form life to create a highly supportive learning environment.

We have current vacancies for practising Catholics to join our Governing Body as Foundation Governors and, for non-Catholic individuals, vacancies to become Co-opted or Associate Governors.

Commitments include approximately 8-10 evening meetings and two strategy/planning days per year. Meetings typically last for up to 2 hours and are held either on site or via Teams. A full induction and training programme is provided.
