School governors are volunteers who help schools achieve the highest possible standards of education achievement. They come from all walks of life and bring a range of skills and perspectives to the role.
If you care about education and are willing to commit some time to working with our school, you could consider becoming a governor. It is a rewarding role that can make a real difference to the lives of children and young people.
Join the OHCAT family and work together to transform lives, empowering learners to achieve their full potential, by sharing your skills, expertise, and experience as part of the governance team.
