Attracting and Recruiting Professionals to the Governing Board

For: Headteachers, senior leaders, governors and trustees

Aim: This webinar will provide you with advice and practical guidance on recruiting professionals to the governing board, undertaking a skills audit to identify any gaps within the existing board, and attracting the right people from the local community to strengthen governance in your setting.

Rationale: As the largest volunteer force in the country, governors are a vital part of the education system, responsible for schools’ strategic direction, holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and overseeing its financial performance. It is thus imperative that schools bring together professionals on the board capable of fulfilling the important and varied duties associated with the role.
