As part of Volunteers' Week, today I'm celebrating school governors.
One of the questions I'm asked most often is: "What does a school governor actually do?"
The answer is that governors help provide strategic oversight, support and challenge school leaders, monitor key areas such as safeguarding and educational outcomes, and help ensure schools continue to improve for children and young people.
Since becoming a Community Governor at Idsall School (Marches Academy Trust), I've had the opportunity to see first-hand the dedication of teachers, support staff, leaders and fellow governors.
Governors come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. Many of us don't work in education directly, but bring different skills, experiences and perspectives to the table.
It's a rewarding way to contribute to your local community and support the next generation.
A huge thank you to school governors everywhere who volunteer their time to help schools thrive! ... See MoreSee Less

🎶 What an incredible day bringing our Trust together through music!
It was fantastic to welcome 150 singers from Marches Academy Trust schools to St Oswald’s, Oswestry for an inspiring African Gospel Singing workshop. A huge thank you to all the children who joined us – you were all absolutely brilliant! 🌟
The energy in the room was amazing, with children not only enjoying a wide range of songs but also learning about their meaning and importance within African culture. The atmosphere was full of joy, confidence and celebration, with everyone encouraged to take part and express themselves.
We also loved hearing this reflection from Emily:
“We really enjoyed yesterday. We got to sing all sorts of different songs and learnt about what the songs actually mean to African culture. The people were very full of life and so was the crowd. You didn’t have to feel embarrassed to have a good time. Me and my friend even got a special shout out for our effort and interest in the event. It was genuinely a great experience and I would 100% go again.”
👏 What a fantastic experience for everyone involved!
