Governor recruitment

Latest

From 09 October 2023 we will be launching a new Czone website. The new site has been redesigned and restructured, based on feedback from Schools, Colleges and Settings. We hope the new site will help all education providers to easily access useful information and resources. You will still be able to access the site using the link czone.eastsussex.gov.uk.

Recruiting and retaining skilled and committed governors is at the centre of an effective governing board. Governing boards should undertake a skills audit regularly to identify the skills they need from new governors. We recommend using the National Governor’s Association Skills Audit

The Key for Schools Governors also has useful resources and information on recruiting governors.

Applying to be a governor

We invite applications for governors directly through the East Sussex County Council website, we can then match applications with schools that have vacancies. This approach sits alongside the strategies taken by schools themselves to recruit from their local school and wider community.

The application form and further information on becoming a school governor is on the main Council website.
