Contact
To contact any Governor, please address your envelope to the Governor, c/o Clerk to Governors, using the School address.
Volunteers
Want to make a difference in your community, and develop your own professional skills? By volunteering as a governor, you can do both.
Governors are volunteers who play an important role in leading our schools. They set the strategic vision and direction, approve the budget and hold the senior leadership team to account. Despite a quarter of a million people across England already volunteering as school governors, it is estimated that one in ten school governor positions are vacant. www.inspiringgovernance.org/volunteers/ to find out more.
If you are interested in becoming a School Governor, please first read the Support Services for Education Guidance on how you can become a School Governor in Somerset. To find out more and to register your interest in becoming a School Governor at Swanmead Community School, please contact the Clerk, specifying any experience, skills and areas of interest that you would bring to the role.
