In addition, the governing board is keen for candidates to have skills in the following:

• Strong communication skills
• Ability to work as part of a team
• Objective and fair-minded judgement

• Respect for diversity and inclusion

Expectations of governors

• Visiting the school
• Their term of office

How to apply

If you’re interested in applying for the role, please complete the candidate form attached to this letter and return to Mrs Laney, hlaney@bhcs.sfet.org.uk by 25th February 2026.
