Governance Service

We understand that excellent governance is essential in all educational settings, whether you’re a maintained school, independent academy or multi-academy trust.

Meetings need to be planned and recorded accurately; governors have to be recruited and trained… schools often don’t have the personnel or time to do this themselves.

Help is at hand.
