Sir Michael Wilshaw“Good governors focus on the central issues
which lie at the heart of school improvement: the quality of teaching, the progress and achievement of their pupils ... poor governance focuses on the marginal issues … too much time is spent looking at the quality of school lunches, and not enough on attainment in maths and English.” (2013)

Lord Nash“Governance is one of my top priorities … All
schools make two vital decisions. Who is the head and who sits on the governing body … Governors can effect significant change … Although governance is a voluntary role that does not mean it’s an amateur one. It’s a highly professional, highly responsible job, performing an absolutely critical role .” (2013)

Primary Head Teacher
“If you took my secretary away, or the school caretaker, or any of my class teachers, it would have a huge impact. Governing bodies can be highly effective, full of very good people, but if it didn’t exist you might not notice.”

“Governors work hard to provide practical support and challenge, but this is having little impact on the work of the school. They do not have a realistic view of the school's strengths and weaknesses.”
