How To Become a Governor

Do you have the experience and ability to be a Governor of Brook Street School? We are looking for reliable and committed community members who would like to make a positive contribution to the continued success of the school.  Experience in business, education or industry would be a positive attribute but the most important thing is the willingness to become involved in the life of the school and how it is managed.
