Why choose the Board Builder Package?
Effective governance is the cornerstone of a successful school, but sometimes additional support is needed to ensure a governing board operates at its best. Whether it’s establishing a new board for a newly opened school, replacing an Interim Executive Board (IEB) after improvement measures, or addressing a significant turnover of school governors, the Board Builder Package offers tailored solutions.
This comprehensive package is designed to build governing excellence through targeted recruitment and in-depth training, equipping boards with the skills and confidence needed to succeed.
