The DfE has published a report on school and trust governance
Its main conclusions are
- schools and trusts could make greater use of the connection services that provide them with information about people interested in becoming governors or trustees
- whilst essential, good succession planning was not commonly happening
- training and support were well received and valued by governors and trustees, although time and cost were considerable barriers
- there was a mismatch between the skills that governors and trustees felt their governing body had and those which the executive leaders felt they had
- not all governing bodies are making the most of the resource that clerks can offer; the support of an effective professional clerk was seen to help with the retention of governors and trustees
