Governor

Could you use your skills to contribute to the successful development of Leyton Sixth Form College?

Leyton Sixth Form College Corporation consists of 10 members. This includes 5 independent governors, who are recruited from outside the College, the Principal, 1 student governor, 2 staff governors (drawn from teaching and support staff) and 1 parent governor. Working as a team, governors are responsible for determining the strategy and future direction of the College.

The Governing Body makes an important contribution to the life of the College, and therefore students by ensuring that we meet our strategic plan, and that the College is well run by our Senior Management Team. We aspire to outstanding governance with a focus on ensuring that our strategy meets the needs of the community that we serve.

Although we are keen to attract people from different backgrounds, people with local community involvement or those with an educational background are particularly encouraged to apply. A passion for education is key, as is the commitment to contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Governing Body. Previous Governor experience would be useful but not a prerequisite as you will benefit from a well-supported induction and training programme.

The selection process looks to boost participation from under-represented groups so to further improve the diversity of the College’s governing body. Your experience can help us shape the future of our College. In return you will work with a great team of aspirational people and gain insight into a range of strategic aspects, while making a positive impact on young people and the local community.
