Help shape the future of Summerfields Primary School
Could you help local children be the best they can be?
We're inviting expressions of interest from people who would like to join our Governing Body as a Co-opted Governor from Autumn Term 2026.
At Summerfields, everything begins with children. Our Governors work alongside Headteacher Melanie Gartell and the school's leadership team to help ensure every child has the opportunity to Achieve, Belong and Care.
We're fortunate to have a committed and experienced Governing Body and are now looking to strengthen it further by welcoming someone who can bring fresh perspective and experience—particularly around education, learning and helping children achieve their full potential.
You don't need previous Governor experience.
We'll provide:
✔ Full induction and ongoing training
✔ Mentoring and support from an experienced Governing Body
✔ A flexible commitment (around six evening meetings each year)
✔ A genuinely rewarding opportunity to make a lasting difference to children and families in our community
If you'd like to find out more, we'd love to have an informal conversation.

If this opportunity isn't for you, perhaps you know somebody who would make an excellent Governor. Please consider sharing this post or tagging someone who comes to mind.
Many of our strongest Governors first became involved because somebody encouraged them to take that first step.
