Vacancy - Co-opted Governor

A vacancy has arisen for a new co-opted governor on the John Stainer Community Primary School governing board. John Stainer is a maintained, community primary school in the north of Lewisham borough, which provides inclusive education of the very highest standard. The school has been graded as Outstanding in all areas for its last two Ofsted inspections in 2012 and 2024. The vacancy will be available from March, following the departure of a longstanding governor of 16 years. This is an opportunity for an able and committed individual, enthusiastic about education and securing the future of young people, to gain experience of organisational governance. The appointee will benefit from training and professional development opportunities and will work alongside a dedicated team of 11 other governors with diverse personal and professional backgrounds (including the education, entertainment, local government, and finance sectors) to oversee the continued success and development of this highly successful institution. The departing governor is currently the Vice Chair and so there is scope to work closely with the current Chair in the leadership of the board and its future direction, if this is of interest.

Further details are given in the accompanying role description.
