The governing board
Our Governing Body offers an incredibly valuable mix of experiences and skills that combine to drive forward our progressive ambition of being a truly remarkable school.
ShreeRam Ranganathan, Beaconsfield High School Chair of Governors:
Born and brought up in India, I studied to become an Engineer. After graduation, I worked as a technical expert delivering IT support and technical project management. I later moved into Process and Management Consulting delivering transformational change for clients across the globe. After living travelling across US, Gulf and Europe, I moved to the UK with my family in 2009 and have lived in Langley ever since.
I am a strong believer in education being a tool to develop and open young minds-up to be future leaders of the country. I am thrilled to be a governor in this remarkable school and to be contributing to the growth and development of the school and its students. Our Governing Body offers an incredibly valuable mix of experiences and skills that combine to drive forward our progressive ambition of being a truly remarkable school.

Join our governing board
The governing board has elected parent governors as part of the team but there are no current vacancies. When a parent governor vacancy arises, the Chair of Governors will write to all parents to ask if anyone would like to stand for the role. Those who would like to stand should provide a profile to be shared with parents. The profile will provide information about yourself and why you want to be a governor. If more than one parent stands, there is an election, during which all parents are given the opportunity to vote.
The remaining governors are appointed on a skills basis (some are parents, and some are independent) depending on need. Presently, there are no vacancies and unless circumstances change and governors step down, we are not expecting a vacancy this year. When a vacancy arises that could be filled by a parent. As above, we would write to the parent body and ask interested parties to provide a profile and CV. The governors will then hold an interview process.
When the need arises for a non-parent governor, we would approach supporters known to the school and will also register the vacancy on 'Inspiring Governance' (a website which matches those wanting to become governors with schools that have vacancies). The governors apply and there is a selection interview.
Finally, if the governing board has a need for a specific skill set, it can co-opt a governor for an agreed amount of time, over and above its normal complement. At present the governing board may consider this for a governor with either an interest in facilities design, health and safety or an experienced educational professional.
