From the Chair of Governors:
Please see the information below from The Governance Team at West Sussex:

Governor recruitment information session.

Tuesday 11 February 6.15pm – 9.15pm

The governance team has organised an information session to raise awareness of the role of school governor. We are holding this event for people who may be interested in becoming school governors and to help schools in their recruitment to vacancies. This has been advertised via the WSCC residents newsletter, as well as WSCC social media outlets. It is hoped that anyone interested in school governance will take the opportunity to find out more. If you currently have vacancies on your governing board you may like to advertise this session to your school and local community. Even if you currently have a full board, raising awareness of the role of school governor will hopefully encourage interest in future vacancies or may help other schools across the county.

This session has been organised through Eventbrite. The link to information and booking is below.
