Are you being called to serve as a foundation governor?

As a foundation governor of 10 years, I find it hugely rewarding. As well as helping to protect the Catholic ethos of our schools, it is a wonderful opportunity to help make a difference to children’s lives. The experience has personally boosted my confidence and given me so many new skills.

Across the diocese we have 412 foundation governors, serving on the governing bodies of 56 maintained schools and academies. We are very grateful to them for the support and challenge they provide for our schools and for the work they do to help bring about the Bishop’s vision of ‘Bringing people closer to Jesus Christ through His Church’.

With this large number of governors to recruit we are always looking for suitable parishioners to join them. We currently have 69 vacancies for foundation governors across 25 of our schools.
