Guernsey's government is looking for "passionate and dedicated" residents to sit as chairpersons on governance boards for States-run schools.

Education, Sport and Culture (ESC) said it was looking to fill new interim governance boards, which will transition into full governance boards in early 2026.

There will be six governance boards overseeing a cluster of schools in Guernsey, as well as boards overseeing the Guernsey Institute and St Anne's School in Alderney, said officials.

ESC President Deputy Andrea Dudley-Owen said: "We're looking for individuals who have passion and skills, and who are inspired to make a difference."

She said the positions were "a unique and rewarding leadership opportunity" that would help "support the drive from good to excellence" in education.

Anyone interested in applying for the roles should register for the briefing session, with more information available on the recruitment website.
