Independent schools
Governors for Schools works with independent schools to find governors for their school boards.
We recognise the need for good governance across all schools to improve educational standards for all children. Independent schools face similar challenges to state-funded schools in finding committed volunteers with the relevant skillset and in response to increasing demand.
