School Governors - Example Policies

Governing body example policies.

The aim of this section is to allow governing bodies to share their policies, procedures and practices. This could help avoid 're-inventing the wheel' and share good ideas for the benefit of everyone. Clearly, this will only succeed if all governing bodies make contributions. To submit a document please email it to Governor Services.
