Interested in School Governance?
Join a School Advisory Board
School Advisory Boards (SABs) support school leaders. They look at how the school is doing, review key information and ask constructive questions that support improvement.
We have a variety of SAB member openings available across our schools. Please read our SAB information and register your interest in joining a School Advisory Board.
Experience of school governance can be helpful but is not essential. We welcome interest from people with a range of backgrounds who are willing to read information carefully and ask thoughtful questions. There are usually 4 meetings of each SAB per year, plus networking and training opportunities.
