School Governors
School governors play a vital role in raising standards in our
schools. Every school in Bedford Borough has its own governing
body which is made up of staff from the school, parents and members
of the public who are committed to serving the best interests of
the school and contributing to the school's efforts in raising
standards.
Governing bodies meet at least three times each year and most
schools also have sub-committee meetings on a termly
basis. Governors come from all walks of life and each
governing body comprises different categories of governor. It
is possible to be elected as a parent governor if you have a child
at the school.
Please read through the section 'Being a School Governor'.
If you are interested in becoming a school governor and are not a
parent of a child at school, please complete the 'Prospective
