It is a very special place to work and this is a great opportunity to join our united team who work hard to ensure that our children flourish socially, emotionally and academically. We are well supported by parents, governors and our local community and all share high expectations of everyone in the school.
The Governing Body is looking to appoint a Clerk to the Governors to work effectively with the Chair of Governors, the Headteacher and the Governing Body.

The post holder will be required to work approximately 3 hours per week. The hours worked each month will vary dependent on Governing Body business. A flexible approach to working hours will be required to ensure availability for work at times convenient to the Governing Body, including attendance at evening meetings.
