Governors - An Introduction
By law every school must have a governing body. Wirral has 135 schools and over 2000 school governors. Governing bodies are made up of volunteers from all walks of life who bring a range of expertise, enthusiasm, energy and many other useful skills to their schools. Governors have the opportunity to develop new skills, build on existing ones and work as part of a team.
It is important that prospective governors know what is involved in being a school governor. The information provided on this web site is intended to help you to decide whether you would like to be a school governor and whether you have the time and commitment that is necessary to be a good school governor.
Further information is available in the Help Schools Help Children leaflet published by the DCSF. The leaflet is available in the following languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Somali, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese.
