Anyone who is eighteen or over, a legal resident of the UK and not disqualified under the School Governance Constitution (England) Regulations 2003 is eligible for the role.

What's involved in being a Governor at Middleton Technology?
Governors spend approximately 6-8 hours per month on the role – the time varies for each Governor and depends on how many sub-groups they attend. The main two sub-committee meetings at Middleton Technology are Curriculum and Staffing and Resources. We hold meetings each half term and preparatory reading for the meeting is required. These committees meet separately from the main governing body to discuss relevant issues in more detail. Discussion is then fed back at a full governing body meetings.

Understand and respect its statutory role and purpose.
Recognise the shared commitment to school improvement and securing the best outcomes for every child.
Respect Governors as volunteers who bring other skills, experiences and perspectives, and value their contribution.
Work openly with the governing body and provide clear, concise and relevant information on which to base decisions.
Enable all governors to become involved in the life of the school.
