£1 million to help schools recruit high-calibre governors

More than £1 million to help schools across England recruit highly-skilled governors has been announced by Schools Minister Lord Nash.

The funding, provided by the Department for Education (DfE), will support a new partnership between SGOSS - Governors for Schools and the Education and Employers Taskforce, to recruit and place more high-calibre governors in schools. An online tool will be developed to help more schools search for suitable volunteers and more bespoke support will be available to the schools that find it the hardest to recruit the experienced governors they need.
