Our five-year Impact Report
Throughout 2023 we worked with FTI Consulting to measure our impact and explore the difference our service makes to schools, trusts and volunteers. From this, a five-year Impact Report has been created.
In 2022-23, governance volunteers appointed through Governors for Schools since 2018 contributed £13,500,000 to their schools in terms of time given.
- 89% of schools were delighted or happy with the governance volunteers sourced via Governors for Schools.
- 9/10 schools would recommend Governors for Schools.
- 85% of appointed volunteers had a positive experience in their governance role.
- 86% have used or are using our support resources to develop themselves in their role.
- 33% felt their governance role had helped develop their careers.
- 63% of those surveyed have actively encouraged personal and professional networks to take up school governance roles.
Alongside the release of our five-year report, we’ve taken the opportunity to catch up with some of the schools and volunteers we enjoyed a particularly close working relationship with over the period.
