The reason for this message is to ask if there was anyone within your churches who might be interested in finding out more about and potentially volunteering as a foundation governor in a Church school. Across the diocese, there have been many challenges recruiting foundation governors. In the first instance, we would look to the local parish to find potential volunteers who would be interested in this role. Unfortunately, this has become increasingly difficult. Therefore, part of my role is to support schools to find suitable Christians who are willing to give some time to help Church schools by becoming foundation governors. They would need a leader in their church to recommend them as a suitable candidate.
