We would really like to hear from any parents who may have an interest in getting more involved with our school by joining our Governing Body.
We currently have a vacancy for a Parent Governor which we would ideally like to fill this term.
The most important qualities for becoming a Governor at Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham’s are enthusiasm, commitment and an interest in education. You don’t need teaching experience, but it’s useful to bring skills from other areas of your life. You will need to attend a Governors' meeting each half term. You will also be expected to join some sub-committees – these cover different areas like the curriculum, admissions, finance or buildings. You will need to be able to work well in a team, as you will be making joint decisions on policy. Demands on your time depend partly on what’s going on in the school. As a Governor, you may need to contribute approximately eight to ten hours a month.
Full details of the nomination process are attached to the ParentMail letter we sent, and if you are interested, Mrs Picton would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss the role and what is involved in more detail.

The closing date for applications is now extended to 12 June 2023.
