The Diocesan Department for Education welcomes applications from Catholic persons willing to be considered as lay or non-lay members of appeal panels for school admissions. Suitable persons will be appointed to serve on panels hearing appeals for Catholic schools within The Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.
A person is eligible to be a lay member if he/she is a person without personal experience in the management of any school or in the provision of education in any school (disregarding any such experience as a governor or in any other voluntary capacity).
A person is eligible to be a non-lay member if he/she has experience in education, is acquainted with educational conditions in the local authority area, or is the parent of registered pupils at school.
Please note that this is voluntary. Expenses may be paid according to local authority policy.
The closing date for applications is Friday 31 January 2025.
