A primary school in Melksham is seeking dedicated individuals to join its local governing body.
The Manor CE Primary School on Ruskin Avenue is seeking new voluntary governors to join its team. The role involves attending five meetings per year plus visits to the school twice a year to monitor a specific area such as safeguarding, making sure all the children can access the best education regardless of disadvantage or special educational needs.
Felicia Hislop has been a local governor at the school for 1.5 years. She said,
“Being a volunteer governor at The Manor School is honestly one of the most rewarding things I do. It’s a real privilege to be part of something that makes a difference in children’s lives. It’s not just about policies and paperwork; it’s about helping a school thrive and making sure every child has the best chance to succeed.
“What I enjoy most is the sense of purpose it provides me. You get to work with passionate people, support brilliant staff and see the impact of your input over time. It’s also a great way to learn about leadership, education, and how to make decisions that really matter.”
To learn more or express your interest, please contact The Manor CE Primary School office on 01225 700150 or email admin@themanor.wilts.sch.uk
