Become a school governor

We are a Multi-Academy Trust comprising primary and secondary schools in Stockport, South Manchester, Tameside and Cheshire East. Our governors and trustees play a crucial role working closely with school leaders to provide support, constructive challenge and honest feedback across our schools. They help us to make decisions and shape our Laurus education and ensure that we remain true to our vision and strategic priorities.
