St Peter’s School has a diverse and expert Board of Governors.
St Peter’s is a thriving independent school, educating children from age 2 to 18 on a 50-acre campus in the heart of York. In a sector which is experiencing extraordinary pressure, St Peter’s is in a strong position, with an ambitious strategy and extensive campus masterplan. Serving as a Governor at St Peter’s School is a highly rewarding experience, offering numerous personal and professional benefits.
School governance gives professionals the chance to experience leadership at board level at any point in their career and we welcome all levels of leadership experience. There is the opportunity to develop and improve technical and interpersonal skills whilst strengthening professional networks across many specialists.
Our Governors share their lived experience and skills to bring a new perspective to St Peter’s. We seek voices from different groups and communities and welcome those from groups which bring a new perspective to the School and to independent education.
Governors derive self fulfilment from making a difference to St Peter’s, helping to shape its future and sustaining it for generations to come. They play a vital role in the School community and their contribution is highly valued.
The commitment for a St Peter’s Governor is to attend Full Board meetings four times a year as well as an annual strategy day and participation in one or more of the specialist committees. Meetings usually take place in the evenings and whilst remote participation is available, we strongly recommend meeting at the School in order to connect with the pupil and staff community.
Unfortunately, we do not currently have any vacancies for governors but would be happy to hear from anyone interested in joining the Board at a future date.
To register your interest, please contact the Clerk to the Governors.
