Effective Local Governance Survey

The effective governance of schools and trusts is essential to ensure high-quality education for young people. Volunteers fulfilling the role of governor or trustee in schools and trusts make a vital contribution to the education system.

The Effective Local Governance survey can help you measure the effectiveness of local governance practices and highlight inconsistencies in school-level governance across a trust. Furthermore, it provides evidence to build stronger links and communication between local governing bodies and the school leadership team.

The survey covers topics such as:

• Process efficiency
• Strategic alignment
• Governor capabilities

Trusts will be able to compare the feedback from their local governing bodies with that of their school leadership teams and compare their results with national benchmarks.
