We are actively seeking School Governors and Trustees to join Leading Edge Academies Partnership.

Jackie Eason, Chair of the Trust board, shares her experience below:

“I first became a School Governor when we moved back to Cornwall, it was a great way to meet new people and become involved in my son's education. I started off just attending meetings, but as I became more confident, I discovered that I enjoyed learning about how the school works behind the scenes, and how we measure ‘success’.

Things have changed enormously over recent years, it used to be all about progress and attainment data, then we wanted to know what the children were learning, ‘the curriculum’.

Now we are really focussed on how we can help our children strive in their learning, whilst supporting their mental health and well-being so they can evolve into happy, confident adults.

There's no time like the present; NOW really is an exciting time to get into Governance, either as a Trustee or a School Governor. Everyone has valuable skills to offer, why not pop into school and chat with someone about a role that you could play?”
