School Governorship: is it worth it?

Laura Hood

Hi all

I have recently seen a few adverts for the opportunity to be a governor of a number of local schools. They often want someone with HR experience. 

I know that this would be tough - they say it would be around a day a month but I am sure it would be much more. However, I would like a place on our Company's board and felt that this would potentially give me a (safer) stomping ground and an opportunity to work strategically, whilst offering my skills which I'm sure would be rewarding.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

  • No real insight, but just to say I'm very glad you asked this question! I've been increasing my involvement with our local high school in my role as the lead on our apprenticeship scheme, and it has been suggested that I might like to become a governor. I've been thinking it over and to be honest I'm no closer to deciding one way or the other, so I'll be reading the replies to this thread with interest
