Becoming a school governor through KPMG

“KPMG are proud to actively encourage our colleagues, from graduates to partners, to use their eight -days volunteering allowance to take on Board-level volunteering roles and make a positive contribution to their communities. During FY19 colleagues have contributed 8,257 hours across governance roles.

Becoming a school governor is hugely rewarding – it allows our colleagues the opportunity to develop their professional skills whilst helping to provide better educational outcomes for students.

We would like to thank Governors for Schools for their training, guidance and professional development support for all our governors throughout our continued relationship.
