We currently have a vacancy for a Parent Governor on our school’s Governing Body. This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the strategic leadership of Danesgate Community School and to help us continue to provide the best possible education for our students.
As a Parent Governor, you will play a crucial role in:
- Supporting the school in its core mission and strategic direction.
- Helping to shape our school’s vision and values.
- Acting as a link governor for a key area of the school, which will involve meeting with the staff member leading in that area and with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) link.
- Ensuring accountability and financial oversight.
The commitment involves attending six full Governing Body meetings per academic year (one per half term, typically held on a weekday evening) and taking an active role in the life of the school.
This is a chance to use your skills and perspective to make a real difference and to ensure that the voice of our parents is heard at the highest level. No prior experience is required—just a passion for our school and a commitment to our students.
If you are interested and would like to complete an application form, or require further information, please email our School Business Manager, Mel Shepherd, at mel.shepherd@york.gov.uk. Deadline for applications is 30/09/2025.
