Frequently individuals serving on these Governing authorities are volunteers, who come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and bring to the institution their skills, expertise, and knowledge from their own work environments, personal experiences, and cultures. However, the world of education is often new to most of them as they willingly give up their time and effort to be a volunteer. GovernorSupport offers assistance and guidance for those times when a Governor Body or Board of Trustees would welcome impartial advice on a difficult or sensitive issue; an assessment of the performance of themselves; or the school leadership team; and importantly creating a strategic body that is effective in providing the best possible environment for children/students to thrive individually and educationally.
We offer Governor Bodies and Academy Trustee Boards
The role of the Governor Board or Academy Board of Trustees is crucial to any school. It is here that strategic planning is developed for a successful institution, as well as ensuring that the institution is performing on a daily basis to the highest standards.
