Governor Vacancy at Speen Church of England School
/in BASG News, IN SPOTLIGHT /by WebmasterAs a small church infant school, we are looking for a foundation governor. They needn’t be a church go-er necessarily, but be happy to support our Christian ethos. We are specifically short of skills on our curriculum committee so would ideally welcome someone who has worked in primary education if at all possible.
