Chair of Governors Vacancy
Thank you for your interest in the Chair of Governors role at The Children’s Hospital School. Our current chair, has been a governor for several years, guiding us through a successful OFSTED inspection in October 2023.
Due to other commitments, our chair is looking to step back from this role within the next year. We have a very strong and supportive governing body, who have helped leaders move the school forwards so we can provide the very best for children and their families.
The school continues to go from strength to strength, and has grown significantly over the last 10 years, with current plans in place to open new learning provisions. As a foundation school, we are in a good financial position with strong leadership and governance.
We are looking for someone with governance experience at a senior level who is able to take on this key role as Chair of the Governing Body, ideally someone who has fulfilled a similar role elsewhere. An understanding of the current educational landscape is important, as is the ability to support the school’s headteacher and leadership team through these challenging times.
If you feel you have the experience to fill this role then we would ask that you write a statement of interest setting out your knowledge, skills and understanding and how you will support the school as it moves forward.
Statements of interest should be emailed to the clerk of governors (clerk@childrenshospitalschool.leicester.sch.uk)
We would anticipate, prospective candidates to meet the Executive headteacher, current chair of governors and to visit the school in advance of any application.
