Community governor sought for Pelsall school
Community governor sought for Pelsall school

A Pelsall school is looking for a new community governor who can help move the school forward to the next stage of its development. St Michael’s CE School is inviting applications from locals who wish to make a positive contribution to life in the community.
Community governors do not have to have children at the school, but require a willingness and desire to help the committed governing body continue its drive to improve standards and ensure that St Michael’s is a school that pupils want to go to.
The governing body has recently appointed a new head teacher, Mrs Ros Hutchinson, and they are working closely together, overseeing new building work at the Maple Road site.
“We are entering a very exciting phase at St Michael’s School and need a new community governor who can work with us to ensure the place is a safe and happy one for the children,” said Mrs Hutchinson.
“The governing body is a hard-working and dedicated band of volunteers that is essential to the success of the school.”
Anyone wishing to apply for the position should write to Mrs Hutchinson and Mr Simon Merckel, chairman of the governors, at St Michael’s School, Maple Road, Pelsall, WS3 4JJ or email postbox@st-michaels.walsall.school.uk by 31 March.
For more information on the role of a community governor, call Mrs Hutchinson on 01922 682309.
