Schools need access to specialist support
At Governors for Schools, we believe every school deserves strong leadership to support pupil success. While we provide a free governor recruitment service to state-funded schools, the demand far exceeds the supply of volunteers. Many schools face prolonged vacancies, leaving leadership gaps that can hinder progress –particularly in disadvantaged areas.
To address this, we’re offering organisations a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference through our bursary for the Enhanced Recruitment Service. You can fund a school’s access to our Enhanced Recruitment Service, removing the financial barrier to recruiting talented volunteers quickly. You can also tailor your support to where you want to make most impact – this could be supporting a school in a specific area, a specific phase of education, or schools in disadvantaged areas.
The impact of your support
By funding this service, your organisation will:
- Accelerate progress: Enable schools to access our Enhanced Recruitment Service, which provides tailored support to quickly fill vacancies with skilled governors.
- Support schools in disadvantaged areas: These schools often lack the networks available to more affluent areas, making it challenging to recruit skilled volunteers. Your funding removes the financial barrier for schools most in need.
- Transform lives: A bursary of £3,500 + VAT can fund Enhanced Recruitment Service access for 10 schools, impacting around 4,500 pupils.
- Demonstrate your commitment: Receive a bespoke impact report detailing the number of pupils and schools you’ve supported and the regions you’ve influenced.
A partnership with purpose
While our free service remains a vital lifeline, it cannot address all the challenges these schools face. Your support through this bursary ensures more schools benefit from the tailored, intensive recruitment support they deserve.
Your investment bridges the gap between schools and the exceptional leaders they need. It’s more than a sponsorship – it’s a partnership for systemic change.
