National School Governors' Awareness Day - 13 Feb 2025

School governors in Norfolk play a crucial role in supporting and improving the educational experience for pupils. They volunteer their time and expertise to help schools run effectively, ensuring that the needs of pupils are met and that schools are held accountable for their performance.

Governors come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wide range of skills and perspectives to the table. This diversity helps in making well-rounded decisions that benefit the entire school community.

They work closely with headteachers and school staff, providing strategic guidance and support in areas such as finance, safeguarding, monitoring school performance, and policies.

Their dedication and commitment are invaluable, and by volunteering as a school governor, individuals not only contribute to their community but also gain personal and professional development opportunities.

If you would you like to know more about becoming a school governor and shaping the future of education, this free online event is designed to:
