Transforming education governance
At Governors for Schools, we believe strong governance can transform education. For 25 years, we’ve been placing skilled volunteers on governing boards across schools, academy trusts, and Further Education (FE) colleges.
Since 1999, nearly 40,000 volunteers have stepped into governance roles through our support — helping to shape the educational experience of almost 40 million children and young people across England and Wales.
