Factors for consideration include:

The contribution made during a term of office and regular attendance.

A genuine desire to help improve standards of education within the school in partnership with the headteacher and the rest of the governing body.

A knowledge of and an interest in the community in which the school is situated.

A knowledge of modern education issues.

A commitment to regular attendance at full governing body meetings as well as meetings of any committees of the governing body to which they are elected.

The following schools have vacancies:

• Cowbridge Comprehensive
