Would you like to positively impact the lives of young learners in your region whilst gaining board level experience? The Collaborative Learning Trust would love to hear from you.

We’re looking for professionals from a range of backgrounds and disciplines to become governors at two of our schools.

A thriving multicultural school with over 650 pupils aged 2-11, based in central Bradford across two sites.

Micklefield Primary Academy, Leeds (LS25 4AQ)
A traditional village school, east of Leeds, with 87 pupils.

As a governor you’ll be part of a committee responsible for the school’s vision, strategy and financial performance and you’ll hold the headteacher to account for the school’s educational performance. Governors meet six times per year with additional school visits.

Who can apply?
The roles are open to anyone aged 18+ and we welcome people from all backgrounds and professions to apply.

As a governor you’ll use your expertise, experience and knowledge to make decisions in the best interests of the school community in a challenging education landscape. No prior education experience is required, but a passion to make a difference and play an active part in the governing body’s work is a must.

Join and you’ll receive a full induction and training programme with access to a wide range of training modules to support your personal development. As part of the Collaborative Learning Trust, you’ll also get access to a wider schools network and professional support.
