This is what some of our current governors said.

“I first got involved as I wanted to understand how education and schools worked at grass roots level. I then worked for English Heritage as part of the Education team and felt this would help me in my professional work. I stayed involved because I really enjoy seeing how the things we talk about in meetings translate to the experiences of children at school every day. It was a real eye opener discovering just how much work goes on outside of the classroom to make sure that school is a safe and enjoyable place for children to learn.”

 

“Over the years I have been heavily involved in all aspects of school governance and gained an invaluable insight into how schools are managed, and I have seen education from a different perspective. It has helped facilitate my pathway back into teaching as a part time career and I feel as a parent, teacher and governor I have a complete 360-degree knowledge of the education system from all perspectives which I have gained from undertaking this role.” 

 

“Being a governor brings me personal fulfilment. It provides a strong sense of belonging and a deep feeling of purpose, knowing that every decision I make contributes to the well-being and success of the children. Seeing the positive impact of our work on their education and development is incredibly rewarding.”

 

“I wanted to give back to our wonderful community and support Caldecote Primary School in its mission to provide outstanding education. Being a governor enables me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children and the community.”

 

“Being a governor has honed my skills in strategic thinking, decision-making, and teamwork. These skills not only benefit my role as a governor but also enhance my professional capabilities.”

 

“Serving as a governor has connected me with other passionate professionals and educators. These connections are invaluable for sharing ideas, gaining insights, and collaborating on initiatives that drive positive change.”

 

“By becoming a governor, I am not only contributing to the success of Caldecote Primary School but also growing personally and professionally. It’s a journey filled with purpose, impact, and inspiration. Join us in making a difference!”
