Governance Reviews
Enhance Your Governance with External Reviews
Strengthen Your School or Academy Trust’s Governance with DfE-Recommended External Reviews
Effective governance is the cornerstone of every successful school and academy trust. To ensure that your governance practices meet the highest standards, external reviews of governance (ERG) provide an invaluable tool for reflection, improvement, and growth. The Department for Education (DfE) recognises the importance of ERGs, recommending that schools and trusts regularly seek external evaluations to enhance their leadership and decision-making processes.
Why Choose External Reviews of Governance?
External reviews provide an independent perspective on your governing body’s effectiveness. These reviews highlight strengths, identify areas for improvement, and offer actionable insights to help your school or trust achieve better outcomes for all stakeholders.
Benefits of an External Governance Review:
Independent Assessment: Gain a clear, unbiased evaluation of your governance structures.
Alignment with Best Practices: Ensure that your governance meets national standards and DfE expectations.
Focused Recommendations: Receive targeted, practical advice to enhance board performance.
Improved Accountability: Demonstrate a commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
Enhanced Strategic Vision: Refine your long-term goals and ensure effective decision-making.
