This year has seen the first National Leaders of Governance (NLGs) appointed to support what has been called the biggest volunteer army in the country.
Having served for more than five years as chair of an outstanding school and with the proven ability to work collaboratively and transform schools, each NLG will support chairs of governors in schools and academies, offering the benefit of our experiences to guide our counterparts through their own challenges.
This will cover a wide range of circumstances. We could be advising new chairs, helping boards to focus on school improvement or supporting them in dealing with significant strategic challenges such as becoming a federation or converting to academy status.
We will also provide coaching and support their counterparts in a variety of different ways – for example, in using data effectively to improve school performance or by delivering more effective support and challenge for their headteacher.
In my time as a governor, I have learned a number of lessons that can be applied to almost every school across the country.
