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.
