How to apply to become a school governor

You do not need specialist knowledge or qualifications to become a school governor. Caring about improving education, enthusiasm and an ability to work as a member of a team are some of the more important qualities in prospective governors.

How do I become a governor?

In Lewisham we work with Governors for Schools an independent school governor charity that provides free services for volunteers, schools and employers.  Please visit their website and complete the application form, not forgetting to state your interest in becoming a governor in a Lewisham borough school.

More information is also available at Inspiring Governance.  This service is supported and funded by Department for Education.  When applying, again please state you are interested in a Lewisham borough school.

For more information about becoming a governor at a Lewisham school, you can also contact us at governors.services@lewisham.gov.uk
