Members of Lum Head's Governing Board are required to annually declare any pecuniary interests (business interests that could result in a conflict of interest).  Some of our current governors have declared an interest, see our Governor Register of Interests below.

The role of a governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community, please see the information below as to what the role entails.  School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they help set the school’s aims and policies.  For further details please see the Annual Statement of Governance below.

Governors have three main roles:

• To provide strategic direction for the school
• To act as a critical friend to the headteacher
• To ensure accountability

You don’t have to have children at the school to be a governor. However, you do have to be over 18, and pass a formal check for your suitability to be within a school.  No specific qualifications are required but there are certain expectations. What’s really important is that you have energy, enthusiasm, time and a real desire to help provide children with the best possible education.

Governors come from all sections of the community, and all walks of life. They can be parents, staff at the school, residents in the locality or representatives of local churches or businesses. It is important that you can work as part of a team, and can give commitment to the school.
