School governors – a dying breed or a thriving population; as scarce as hen’s teeth or an army of volunteers simply waiting to be summoned to your school board?
Schools need governors – full stop. In fact, a median of 11 to 12 individuals per governing board.
In 2017 there were estimated to be around 250,000 governors in England, all of whom are unpaid volunteers who give up their time to improve the educational standards in their chosen schools, providing children with the chance to realise their full potential.
They do this by overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing, thus enabling their school to run as effectively as possible.
