Description

At MacIntyre School we believe that potential is limitless and that every child can achieve 'above and beyond'.

MacIntyre School is an independent special school based in Wingrave near Aylesbury and is part of the national charity MacIntyre ). At the School we support children and young people aged 10 19 years old with severe learning disabilities and/or autism and other complex needs. We provide a person-centred approach in a supportive environment that empowers young people to overcome barriers to learning and engagement, giving them independence skills, preparing them for adulthood, and ultimately enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.

We're looking for school governors to play a valuable role on our Local Advisory Board (LAB). As a LAB member you'll ensure sound governance by bringing your area of expertise to the table. You'll help to shape the future direction of the school, ensure good use of financial resources, act as a 'critical friend' to the Head of Education, and hold them to account.

You don't need any previous experience in a school, or as a governor as we'll provide the training, but you will need to be passionate about making a difference to the lives of our young people.

We welcome applications from all sectors, but we're particularly interested in hearing from people that have a background in the following:

Compliance and/or Health & Safety
Property, construction or facilities
Safeguarding
Recruitment, staffing or HR

This is a voluntary position. You'll need to be available to attend LAB meetings at the school for a minimum of four times per year, plus two school visits per year.

If this sounds like it could be for you but you have some questions, you can contact Catherine Clifford, Head of Education on or email

About us

MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism.

We were founded in 1966 by the visionary parent of a child with disabilities and have been growing steadily ever since. We celebrate and develop everyone's unique gifts, talents and contributions.

MacIntyre School in Wingrave offers an innovative and challenging curriculum individually tailored to provide each student with the best possible learning opportunities and outcomes. Learning takes place throughout the waking day whether at school, in the residential houses or out in the community, where we provide an exciting range of off-site learning activities. We promote independence and effective communication in everything that we do.

Learning activities may include: physical exercise (e.g. climbing, swimming, walking, water sports), work experience (e.g. on a farm), community access (e.g. in shops or cafes) or class based activities (e.g. music and dance & creative arts).
