Governor Appointment Process

For candidates who already have a school in mind:

If you would like to be a governor at a specific school, you should:

  • check if there is a vacancy
  • visit the school and discuss with the headteacher and/ or chair of governors to see if you might be a good fit
  • fill out our application form
  • include details of two referees
  • sign the declaration to confirm you are eligible to stand

We will consider your application and take up references. We will write to you and to the school to let you know the outcome.

For candidates who do not have a specific school in mind:

If you would like to be a LDBS governor but do not have a specific school in mind, you should:

  • fill out our application form
  • include details of two referees and the areas of London that you would prefer
  • sign the declaration to confirm you are eligible to stand

We will consider your application and take up references. We will write to you to let you know the outcome and, if we can support your appointment, we will match you with a suitable school.
