I am a school governor and I applied as I have children who attend the school and want to make sure my children get the best they can from their school

Me. I think I’d make a great Governor. I care passionately about children and learning. I’d work hard to ensure all the children under my care have the best learning experiences and opportunities. I’d make each and every teacher feel supported and valued, and would ensure that failing schools are given the resources to perform better. Gemma for Governor!

Twitter: todaymags
Alan sugar would be a brilliant school governor but you don’t need to be a high powered executive or entrepreneur to be a school governor – so many people have skills and strengths that would benefit schools

Twitter: mummymatters

Anyone can be a governor ! It just takes commitment and a passion to get the best possible environment for youth to grow in .

Arnold Schwarzenegger I could imagine it now there would be no bullying and the school would run brilliantly

Judge Judy would be ace, she would soon get everything running properly in an orderly fashion!

Emma Forbes as a mother she knows what to do

My nan. She would get the community involved and has a real heart for the local school.

Someone real and down to earth. Someone who knows what they are talking about and who is a parent themselves!

Stephen Fry as he is amazingly intelligent & funny but with a serious side to him too

my mum, she is fair, wants to get involved and always listens to other peoples opionions

Gerard Butler he would make a fab governor, and the children would learn a lot

Anyone who can fully commit their time into the role on an on-going basis and has good enough connections to pull to get things done. Maybe Theo Paphitis now that he is not doing Dragon’s Den now.
Have a feeling he could push through required changes.

Twitter: tracyknixon
Jason Gardiner – now he would be funny but also have everyone under his thumb – no skiving or letting the side down on his team OR ELSE!

Twitter: #AjHurst65
I would say my Sister Tina…she has a special needs Daughter and has had to fight for any help she gets…or I would agree with Anthony Harrington (a few posts before me) and have Judge Judy, she is another no nonsense kind of person and would have everything running as it should.

My sister Andrea, always moaning about the school, she should get involved and make a difference!

stephen fry he is intelligent and has the gift of the gab

My mum as she is fab at organising and sorting everything around.

I think the ideal school governor would be a parent of a child at the school. For secondary schools i think some representation of teenagers would be good too. So really I am saying governors should be drawn from the local community and user groups

My mum she is a strong leader who is firm but fair.

Twitter: Philibaldi
Arnold Schwarzenegger as he’ll be back to make sure they sort all issues outstanding

Jeremy Clarkson – he wouldn’t take any nonsense from pupils!

James Caan from Dragon’s Den – calm, intelligent and with great financial backing.

Twitter: Sea1kay
Martin Lewis – he’s not overawed by pompous authority and has good ideas regarding education and implementation

Anyone that is really enthusiastic and really believes they can make a difference!

stephen fry with his wealth of knowledge and sense of humour

Twitter: Sea1kay
Joanna Lumley – did you see her controlling the interview after getting the govenment to change their mind about the Ghurkas? Totally polite but no messing – this is what we want to offset the power freaks who just like to be on a committee!

Richard Branson – proof that dyslexia doesn’t mean you can’t be successful
and he’s good with the finances

Jamie Oliver, because he’d make sure all the kids would get amazing dinners

richard branson i reckon hes still young enough to remember what the kids and their parents need, he will hopefully bring sports back into schools and teach the kids some common sense!

Claire Balding! I am sure the kids would love and she would get things done!

I think that being a school govenor must be a very thankless task. You must get stick from all sides, so I would nominate someone that I think deserves to get some stick, so that they can see how tough it is.

Professor Brian Cox:

He is so intelligent, respected and a nice guy!

I will say Jamie Oliver too. He’s truly passionate about welfare and the right living standards. It’s not just food he’s passionate about but lifestyle. He wants change and he takes actually takes action. He’s has his goals and he’s holds firm in it and what amazes me is that he strives to get it even if the whole city can be against him. I can see him running a school and getting the whole school to change for the best because he will pour his heart out to it rather than just be in it for the money and the holiday benefits etc.

I would nominate my sister Karen, she is a special needs educator and adores children.
She is firm but fair and applies a happy fun educating environment for her children, plus….my daughter loves her

I agree with either Jamie Oliver or Stephen Fry, they’re truly caring genuine people x
Emma Jackson would like you to read ..Cyprus – Yourvarlakia Avgolemono

Rebecca Adlington – she’s already a hero and needs a new job!

I would vote David Beckham as he has children and I think could bring a lot to a school

The best governor would be Daniel Craig. How excited would the kids be to go to class – they would never skive off and science and technology classes would be mind blowing with all of those futuristic inventions.

An army sergeant, as they would fight for what the school needed.

Miranda Hart = the kids love her, she’s a legend

Twitter: tjsi1963
A parent would probably be best for the role, someone who has the childrens best interests at heart.

Lots of great suggestions already but I’d go for Kirstie Allsopp. Lots of common sense and not afraid to say things because it may be perceived as being rude!

I think that anyone who understands the education system; who is able to find a balance between meeting the needs of teachers, children and educational outcomes, while working with a limited budget, will make a GREAT Governor. If a person also had a holistic outlook on education and an understanding and passion about issues of social justice (that are embedded in society and can be most affectively targeted through implementing social inclusion and equality of opportunity policies) then you would have a FABULOUS Governor who would be an asset to any school.

Therefore, I would probably have to choose one of my Social Policy lecturers from university. They are some of the most passionate people I have met in regards to assessing, challenging and changing the welfare experiences of children.

Esther Rantzen – is deeply committed to childrens’ welfare and would bring a lot of humour to the role.

nanny Mcphee with her magic stick would soon have control

I think I would choose the dragon – Duncan Bannatyne. Not only is he great at propelling novel ideas forward and is a family man with excellent business skills, but I might be able to convince him to give all the locals free spa days at his health clubs!

Carol Vorderman – as well as being brilliant at maths, she talks so much sense about many other things

I think Jamie Oliver would make a great school governor, he loves children and is passionate in his work and would no doubt be equally passionate in this role.

Guy Martin,presenter of `How Britain worked.His background and plain speaking would inspire the children,whilst his appriciation of the knowledge industry requires would help gear the aims of the school in supporting successful outcomes for students.

My mum, she is very good at convincing kids what is right and wrong

Richard Branson because he has a good business head & got on despite not being academic. I think he would be a good motivator & role model.

Barack Obama, he’s a good leader and still is very down to earth! Kids would love that.

Gordan Ramsey – he knows how to create success and he demands discipline.

I think Prince William would be great. He is highly respected, but at the same time, able to speak to people at all levels.

Twitter: hdh74
Jeremy Paxman, as he would ask all the difficult questions until he got a proper answer.

Delia Smith, as she would ensure that the children learned the most basic life skill of being able to make themselves, and others, a good meal. She would be cheering them on when they played footie, and would certainly make sure that the school dinners were the best in the country.

Twitter: MunchkinHart
Theo Paphitis – apart from having enough money and contacts behind him to benefit any establishment, he is friendly, funny and not afraid to get stuck in. x
Liz Tumbridge would like you to read ..Extra Squashy and Sweet Tea Party with Swizzles Matlow!

Richard Branson, would be a great role model showing that hard work pays off

George Clooney – meetings may not be any more interesting, but they’d be easier on the eye!

David Beckham – he’s obviously interested in his own children and in others’ too, and he has charisma and charm.

Tanni-Grey Thompson – a great role model who would inspire every pupil

Twitter: defairmans
Albert Einstein because hopefully some of his intelligence would be passed down to the students but also because he didn’t take life too seriously and liked to have fun.

My friend Louise as she is the fairest, smartest and most organised person I know!

Gordon Ramsey, He would shake things up and get things done.

Billy Connolly- he would inject fun into everyone’s lives.

I would say Brian Cox, He makes things so easy to understand and Im sure I would have done better at school if he was my teacher.

Twitter: porkpackerpete
John McClane He would make a good school Govener because he sort’s problems out and makes sure things get done.

Jamie Oliver – he’s passionate, gets things done and is a parent

Someone impartial who is interested in the best needs of the children and their lives who will not be swayed by personal views.

Alex Ferguson, he wouldnt take any rubbish off anyone else

Jamie Oliver, hes outspoken and keen to change things for the better and he is a parent and has alot of involvement with schools already. Good Role model!

Twitter: kerryjones299
Carol Vorderman as she is intelligent and articulate and has an interest in education.

Peter Kay, as I think he’d have a lot to say.
Jane T would like you to read ..My terrible weigh in.

If it could be fictional, I’d go for Mary Poppins – fun, fair and manages to teach manners and responsibility in an entertaining manner whilst always having the children’s best interest and heart. Plus tidying up would be easy for the teachers!

I would say Jamie Oliver, he has a lot of practical experience with kids, he has worked with schools before and he has a good sense for success!

Jessica Ennis, as shes a real inspiration to young people

Barack Obama – an inspirational leader and a father who is great with children!

J K Rowling, in 5 years she went from living on benefits to being very wealthy and famous. Shows that she can make changes quickly and she works hard.

Bruce Willis, I would be extra naughty so I could get sent to his office.

Michelle Obama because I think she has her head screwed on and would have the childrens’ best interests at heart!

Arnie, he seems like such a lovely guy and I can imagine the kids to respect him.

Twitter: tonkatol
I would choose Jamie Oliver as a school governor. He has proven on TV that he cares about the health of children and, with several children of his own, he must have a good idea of the needs of children at school.

Simon cowell – he would tell it exactly as it is and desnt suffer fools gladly. He also roots for the underdog.

I think we should have a vote for best mum/dad for govenor

a fictional character; Rocky, as he has ethics, a strong moral code and is an excellent role model.

My mum, she is very good at convincing kids what is right and wrong

I think Brian Cox would be good as he can engage his audience.

Bruce Willis in Die-Hard mode. He wouldn’t take any rubbish, and would soon sort the school out. (Or blow it up)

Twitter: mrs_jacksparrow
It would have to be someone who knows and cares for the school and pupils – not someone interested in numbers, costs and ratings!

martin lewis! He’d teach the children how to manage their finances so the next generation don’t get in as much trouble with money as their parents!

Prof. Brian Cox because he makes things interesting and I could listen to him all day long.

My husband, he’s great with our kids and is wasted in what he does! He gains respect from our kids by being interested and interesting and doesn’t need to shout!

Any of the 2012 British Paralympians, a true inspiration to all of us. Children could learn so much from all or any of them.

Twitter: Mand_x_
I would chose Will Smith, not just because I am completely in love with him (just dont tell the hubby lol) but he is such a genuine, caring father but also hilarious.

I would chose someone like jim carey! School needs to be more fun huh? xx

I would choose Steven Seagal. Because he is firm, he knows how to disable people without hurting them and he runs funny.

i would make a good governor, i wouldnt be affraid to stand up to the pen pushers and get what is right for our children.

I think that William Roache (Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow) would make a wonderful school governor as he is very intelligent and articulate and has played the role of a school teacher and governor for many years on screen.

Gotta be Stephen Fry. The man doesn’t appear to have any negative aspects to him at all.

Someone like my friend David, a wonderful parent, great teacher, and someone who truly thinks about how to help everyone reach their potential.

Jeremy Kyle – he has met enough drop outs to put the kids in their place!

Twitter: prettybluebirds
Madonna because I would love to see her power dressing outfits at the school gates!

Jamie Oliver because he’s a dad himself and he cares and is passionate.

Twitter: madamding
I’d choose myself – considered running the past but it’s too much of a popularity contest so I’m put off!

If I had to pick a famous person, I’d go for Jamie Oliver. He’d tell them all how to do it better!
Mrs M would like you to read ..Making each day count for Matilda Mae

Boris Johnson – because he’s awesome and a great example of how you don’t have to be perfect to be successful.

ESTHER RANTZEN she would always have the children’s interests at heart.

Kirsty Allsopp. I think she’d fight for each and every child

Twitter: x_walter
Someone who knows and really cares about the school. It’s easy just to say things but you need to properly live it to understand what’s going on.

Jeremy Kyle, he’d make sure kids were not having sex, producing babies and he would cut unemployment.

I would want Sir Richard Branson. His business knowledge would be key now that schools operate more independently from local authorities. He is also a self made and innovative man who would be an inspiration to other governors, staff, pupils and parents.

i would choose david cameron. just so i can make his life hell

Theo Paphitis would be great – he would make sure the job was done properly

Twitter: rainbowgoddess2
Esther Rantzen
she has compassion for both children and adults but has a strength needed for the job
she also knows how to make things happen

Stephen Fry- he knows so much, I’m sure his knowledge stretches to school governing!

Actually, in all seriousness, my late dad was a great school governor- he cared about education, he spoke well in groups and he was confident. That’s the sort of person who is ideal to be a school governor.

@yyesidolikecake

She is firm but fair with the kids and is the most kind and caring lady I know. Since she has been at the school she has literally turned it around and made it a happy place to be! You could not ask for a better governor!
Rebecca Cooper would like you to read ..TOPSHOP GIVEAWAY

I’d be tempted to say Jamie Oliver as well, at least he’d make sure that the food there, was healthy, and he seems a spirited man. I think he’d inspire..

J.K. Rowling – she seems to know how to run a school! Also a great role-model with regards to reading, and ambition. Plus she’s a mum and was head girl at her own school.

Phillip Schofield because he has a lot of common sense.

As a teacher I have to say Michael Gove as I think he’s clueless. If he was a governor then he might actually get a real insight into how a school is run and what can be improved.

ANY LOVING PARENT WHOS CHILD GOES TO THE SCHOOL AS THEY WILL ALWAYS WANT THE BEST FOR THEM

mrs doubtfire because she can be a govorner or a governess.she can be caring and fun but also serious.xxx

My ideal school governor would be Doctor Who. He would be a monumental asset to any school. The support he could provide would be out of this world – positive contributions would include organising school trips in his tardis – covering such subjects as history and science. School truancy would be at all time low – and no need for expulsion, bad behaviour could be threatened with EXTERMINATION!

My Dad, he was always fair and treated people with respect and was always up for fun!!

Alan Sugar wouldbe my ideal Govenor. He doesn’t suffer foold gladly, is a self made man and think he would be very inspiring.

Everyone comes to me with their problems, because I am a whizz at seeing the big picture, & come up with solutions quick smart!

I am not afraid to stand my corner … In fact, I relish a challenge?

I am the under dogs champion … Show me a victim, & I’ll show you a fight!

Morgan Freeman, and just have him read messages and notices out all day

James Corden – there’s no way the kids would play him up cos he’s too cool! He comes across as friendly and approachable so would be accessible to both parents and children.

alan rickman playing his proffessor snape character from harry potter. he’d scare the beejesus out of the kids to make them before. although they might all end up turning evil so maybe not a good idea

He brought together people from all walks of life, motivating and inspiring them to create a wonderful and amazing success.
His organisational and motivational skills would ensure that all school staff and pupils would achieve their highest potential ensuring the success of the school.

My brother Andrew would make a great governor as he is a full time carer for my disabled niece Rowan and has had to fight to get action or get her needs met. He also fosters other children and would put the needs of the kids first. He would also support the teachers.

A parent; someone who has a child at the school should, (will?), have a vested interest in the efficient running of the school. BTW, I know a school governor who dislikes children! No idea why she took the job though.

would have to be jessica ennis, shes such a fantastic role model for young children x

Emmmm, someone normal, like me or a parent or someone from the community

MIchael Gove- he would see how a school really operates!

Twitter: chrriss88
Gok Wan – he could inspire the school uniform – suggest health options for school dinner and make everyone feel good about themselves – all round great guy!

Gny. Sgt. Hartman from full metal jacket to bring some of the wayward children back into line.

Bear Grylls, he would give children a sense of adventure and challenge them to try things they never have
Alison would like you to read ..What’s In Your Pocket?

Jamie Oliver would be great as he loves children, is passionate about good food which are children and schools should be too and he would come up with some innovative ideas too!

Jessica Ennis – such an inspiration, shes fun, young and is a fantastic role model for kids.

Stephen Hawkings. He would inspire pupils to achieve but he would also understand the restrictions faced by our disability pupils. I would love him to be our school governor so that he could advise and help to improve our school.

Arnie Schwarzenegger, he would always “be back” to help with all school problems, and no one would want to contradict him!!!

Twitter: Blondsmum
Jamie OLiver, he would have the best motives for seeing the children had the best start

Jamie Oliver. He has such a great rapport with kids and he could teach them all about good food and the importance of eating properly.

Boxer David Haye – discipline would not be a problem.

I`d recomment the Beckhams as they are so high profile, and make so much money its bound to improve the school
Chris Reid would like you to read ..My Tots100 Printerpix competition entry

I would choose Nigella! Strong woman who would advocate on behalf of the normal family

I’d nominate the Queen – she has life experience plus everyone seems to automatically behave around her!

I think David Beckham – because he cares and would make it fun!

my ex mother in law very passionate in what she believes in and i dont think anyone would be brave enough to argue LOL

Mary Poppins! Because she would be firm but fair & school would be so much more fun! Slight downside her being a fictional character…!

I think Tony Blair, as I believe the reason why my education was so good, just a few years ago, was because of his Labour Government

Twitter: essexgirlSE
Sharon Osbourne as she’s passionate, deeply caring and am amazing fundraiser

Dame Judi Dench would make a superb school governor as she certainly knows what is going on and is respected by everyone, old and young.

Richard Branson – the fundraising events would be very novel!!

Tony Buzan – A man who understands how learning works

Myself? I’d like to think i’m quite passionate about education

Martin Clunes would be ideal, he would make me laugh all the time but would be knowledgeable enough to fulfil the position

Jeremy Clarkson cause he would tell it like it is and take no nonsense from anyone.

Twitter: kezzaseery
Someone who actually cares for children and wants them to go far in life.
Kerry Seery would like you to read ..EcoForce Cleaning Review

I’d choose Madonna. Some might say an unlikely choice but given her scrupulous work ethic, dedication to causes and parenting skills I’d say she’d make a top class governor

It would have to be Gene Hunt! (from Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes)

To lay down the law and fire up the quattro!

Twitter: compcake
Peter Jones (Dragons Den) as he could provide motivation for increasing revenue for the school, but also inspire students and staff to be the best they can be

I think someone like any of the Dragons from Dragon’s Den would be great as a school govenor – they all have great financial and business minds, but are also interested in people and very inspirational

Twitter: petrahora
Alan Sugar as I could learn so much from him

Stephen Fry – he’d be brilliant and I would love to go to that school

Twitter: Valt25
I would have to say David Cameron. Very caring, intelligent and influential.

Twitter: matphil
Alan Carr, school needs to be more fun and he’d make sure it was.

Mary J. Blige supports a number of education charities including ones specifically targeted at poorer areas. She’s also very cool.

I would compulsorily co-opt every MP to work along side staff, governors and pupils as part of their remit. If every new MP had to serve a year as a hands on governor going into a main stream typical school at least once a month for half a day they would understand a lot more about what this country needs and how to motivate youth. Government money invested there now would pay great dividends in years to come.

Definitely Alan Sugar as he would fire the head teacher and employ the right person for the school, children and parents

I would choose David Beckham – he is motivated,loves kids and would inspire the school children. Plus he would be eye candy for the female staff and governors !

Stephen Fry I think as he doesnt seem the type to shy away from a fight and would stand up to the head if he felt a situation warranted it

i would choose david beckham as people admire and look up to him

Twitter: Bellavilla1
Carol vorderman – As the school funds would always add up and the children could always ask for a “p” please

My friend Sue who gets her point across and works hard for parents & kids.

Twitter: LindyHine
Lord Sugar because hopefully he could cut through all the committees and the redtape and just get the job done

I would choose someone who understands children and the problems that can be faced with school, the ideal governor would be firm but fair to both pupils and teachers – David Walliams

Jeremy Kyle because he is a great talker and gets his point across.

I would pick David Beckham, a generous, geniune, caring guy who cares for his kids so I think would care for the children at the school!

I’d be totally selfish and would choose Johnny Depp, Just so I could ogle him all the time, I’d spend that much time at my kids school, the kids wouldn’t dare put a foot wrong

Rosemary Schwager – disciplined, firm, would introduce great food into the syllabus, and no one would mess with her!

Michael Palin because he’s educated to a high standard and with a well balanced view of the world and life. Lots of people experience.

i would choose David Beckham, he would inspire kids to achieve and reach for their dreams

I would choose Steve jobs as children are so in awe of iPads and new technology. I think he would be respected and listen to.

I would choose Justin fletcher AKA Mr Tumble as he has worked with enough children to understand there needs fully and would also encourage mixed disability schools instead of singling them out and seperating them

Anita Roddick (Postumously) or Nelson Mandella – both ethically, environmentally, culturally and politically sound people!

David Attenborough – he is wordly wise and compassionate. He would have a lot to teach our children, and parents.

jeremy clarkson, reading his newspaper column makes me think he usually has all the solutions to the problems facing our country!

Santa because he’s got a list he knows who’s naught and who’s nice!

Terry Pratchard,brilliant writer with a good humour and imagination would be great as he has the patience and understanding of how parents and children behave and react

I’d choose Charlie Brooker because he is extremly intelligent and sharp, he’s always on the ball and not afraid to speak his mind. He’d take no nonsense from the do-gooding pta parents who normally make a lot of hot air but not a lot of difference.

Jamie Oliver – a campainer who works hard and gets things done

Bear Grills as he could teach you to thrive in any situation.

I also think Brian Cox would be a good choice. You need someone young and funky and can engage with young people

Matt Baker. Fun, talented, down to earth and kids love him!

I think Noel Edmonds he does alot for gd causes, has alot of passion, is a gd role model and does make a big deal out of the gd he does

Jamie Oliver would be ideal. He has already proved how passionate he is about improving school education/ school meals and his passion is infectious.

Stephen Fry – He’s well educated so knows the importance, and just knows everything so would be great to learn from too

Alan Sugar, to shake it up a bit and help get us more government funding

Prof. Brian Cox because he is very intelligent and seem slike a lovely man

I would like to see stephen fry as he has alot of knowledge and could hopefully inspire the teachers and pupils to better things

I would choose Jon Richardson as he would instill tidiness as a way of life

Daniel Craig as James Bond

He would get things done as he is a ACTION hero
Nice to look at
Hopefully he wouldn’t shoot too many people!

Sean Lock, cos he has a lot of obscure info in his head and if all else fails he can make us laugh

steven segal along side bruce willis, omg i would have my cake and id eat it too!! xx

I think Richard Branson hes worked hard for his money made a career for him self I believe he’d help others follow the right path and encourage people never to give up.

Hello x
I would nominate my head teacher from when I was at junior school in the early 80′s. She was way ahead of her time and never needed to raise her voice. Everyone loved her. Her name is Hilary Minns and Ithink she writes childrens books now. Awesome lady.

I would choose Simon Reeve because he seems a really well balanced, sensible, knowledgeable person.

Caitlin Moran! She’s funny but wise, she has a way with words that gets people to listen to sense, cutting through the dramas that are flung about. She’s a feminist, which is good for both boys and girls. Everyone in the school should be equal and treated as such. She also came from a working class/benefits background and worked her way up – she would be able to support and encourage people no matter what their social status was and I think she would be an all round inspiration.

I would choose Sir Alan Sugar, straight talking and no nonsense, exactly what is needed in the school system these days

My choice would be Jamie Oliver. He has done so much to get nutritious food into schools and he could do it, easily. His children are school age too, so he understands their needs. Pukka!

i think simon cowell because he good at nearly evrything he dose

and i would like to see jeremy clarksom doing he would hate the job but he would be good at it

Joanna Lumley – no nonsense down to earth approach with so much relevent experience of life.

I would chose Carol Vorderman as she is a very strong, outspoken, intelligent woman who can hold her own in any conversation.
She also has children herself so would have the childrens best interests at the forefront of her mind.
If she decided to invite any of her loose woman colleagues that would certainly make school governer meetings a lot more interesting too.
