SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT 7 governance services
Strategic advice, professional clerking and high quality training Governors play a crucial role, offering support and challenge for continuous improvement to create exceptional outcomes and change the life chances for all our children, particularly those who are most vulnerable and disadvantaged. Governing the strategic development of our schools, particularly through the era of a pandemic, requires a high level of understanding so complex decisions and logistical choices can be made. Working with governors and school leaders, our professional service draws on wide-ranging expertise and insights about the fundamental principles of governance. We offer the best possible strategic advice, frameworks and solutions, ensuring education settings focus on much more than compliance.
