THE Church of England in Devon has launched a New Year recruitment drive to find more than 100 volunteers to be governors in schools, academies and Multi Academy Trusts in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.

It has released a new video featuring children from Trinity Church of England Primary School in Exeter as part of its “Be A Governor” social media campaign to find new faces to help steer the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the 133 Church of England schools and academies in Devon.

The Right Reverend Jackie Searle, Bishop of Crediton, said: “Having been a governor at different schools, both as a parent and a vicar, I know how vital governors are to school life and what a rewarding role it can be.”
